add a line to that file like so (before the exit 0 line):

 /root/build/eink-clock/clock.py &

reboot and enjoy!

notes

Yes, this is a black-white-red panel, but the updates are too slow to make the extra color worth it, so it is operated in just black-white mode.

thanks

Kudos to the scipython team for posting code to generate clockfaces and to the pimoroni team for posting good instructions on how to use their panels.

future

It would be great if the inkyhat library supported partial updates (red second hand?)...
