+# What why how
+This is a project I created that pulls weather data from the internet, transforms it into custom images, and displays them on an e-ink screen powered by an ESP32.
+
+## What This Project Does
+
+I wanted a low-power way to see weather information at a glance, so I built this system that:
+
+- Fetches real-time weather data from online APIs
+- Processes and converts the data into visual images (temperature graphs, forecast icons, etc.)
+- Sends these images wirelessly to an ESP32 microcontroller
+- Displays the information on an energy-efficient e-ink screen
+- Updates periodically while consuming minimal power

+# How do I get to use this without programming knowledge?
+Check in the wiki for the guide how to get everything working!
+### 😺 [Wiki Get Started Guide](https://github.com/Myxelium/Wireless_Eink_HomeScreen/wiki/)
+
+## Git Notes
+All commits has to follow this [Conventional Commits style](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) to pass the pipeline.
 ## Features 😺
 - Display current weather data
 - Display public transport information
 - Display time and date
 
 ## Requirements 🫥
-- ESP32 board
+- [ESP32 board](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/E-Paper_ESP32_Driver_Board)

+
+Best way of getting the ESP32 ready for code upload is to follow this guide [WAVESHARE ESP32 GUIDE](https://web.archive.org/web/20250706150325/https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/E-Paper_ESP32_Driver_Board).
+Once you have it ready so you can upload code to it copy my code in: Esp32_Code/INFOSCREEN_WITH_INTERVAL from this repo.
+
+Install following libraries (if more is needed search for them and install them too): 
+* ArduinoJson
+* GUI_Paint
+* JPEGDEC
+
+You need the Waveshare examples installed since it uses code from them download them here [Download](https://files.waveshare.com/upload/5/50/E-Paper_ESP32_Driver_Board_Code.7z) or check above link.
