Deploy steps
- Prepare your books
Use a FAT32 microSD card. Create a books folder at its root and copy your UTF-8 .txt files into it. Safely eject the card and insert it while the reader is powered off. A short English sample and licensed fonts are included in the firmware.
- Install the reader
Connect reTerminal Sticky to your computer with a USB data cable. Close serial monitors, then use the firmware tool below and select the Sticky serial port. This installer replaces the current firmware and internal saved settings; it does not format the microSD card. Keep the cable connected until flashing finishes, then restart the device. The sample reading page should appear.
Flash firmware to your device (in-app tool on CodeCraft Hub).
- Open a book and read
Press Down for the next page and Up for the previous page. Short-press AI to open the menu; use Up/Down to move and AI to confirm. To reach the library from the reading page, press AI, press Down six times, then press AI, waiting for each screen update. Select a book to begin. Add more TXT files to books and restart to refresh the list.
- Save your place and rest
Hold AI for about two seconds, then release it to save your place and enter deep sleep. Press AI to wake and resume. Only AI wakes the reader from deep sleep. Power the device off before removing the microSD card.
