Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/OpenEPaperLink/issues/522

Describe the bug
On 4-color (BWRY) tags, the preview image shown by the AP is wrong or missing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set the tag to "current date". The preview image shows the DoW as yellow
  2. The tag shows the DoW in red

Also:

  1. Draw a custom image from HomeAssistant, using all colors (black, white, red)
  2. The preview image on the AP is missing completely
  3. The "Content" shown in HAss is also wrong (showing black instead of yellow)

Expected behavior
The AP preview and the "Content" in HAss should match what is shown on the tag

Screenshots

Actual tag:

AP preview:

HAss preview:

Additional info
Code used to generate tag contents:

    - type: rectangle

      x_end: 80

In all HS BWRY tags it seems the perceptual color is not added.

"colortable": {
		"white": [ 255, 255, 255 ],
		"black": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
		"red": [ 255, 0, 0 ],
		"yellow": [ 255, 255, 0 ]
	},
	"perceptual": {
		"white": [ 255, 255, 255 ],
		"black": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
		"yellow": [ 200, 200, 0 ]
	},

The entry for red in the perceptual table is missing (those colors are used for rendering the previews).
Your display is https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/OpenEPaperLink/blob/master/resources/tagtypes/6D.json, but also other HS BWRY tagtypes are missing the entry.

Just correctly added the perceptual color table for HS
Not sure if it is also needed for Opticon or M3

I updated the firmware on my AP, and downloaded the tag definition files (which did pull an updated 6D.json). However, I still see the issue (preview uses yellow, tag shows red). Is there anything else I need to do to apply the fix?

Amazingly enough, that was it... I had performed all possible updates (even flashed the C6 update on the AP), but I never would have thought of a browser issue!

Thank you!

Which firmware worked for you? I can't find one that supports BWRY.

@AquariDN They all support BWRY from the beginning. But, always use the latest version.
The actual definition of the colors is in the tagtype json, which correspondents with the tagtype from the tag firmware. If something is not working, you have to provide more info.

@nlimper Does that mean I can simply use this file for the HS Pro 350Q-N ?(https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/OpenEPaperLink/blob/master/binaries/Tag/TLSR_HS_BWY_35_ALPHA.bin)

@AquariDN That's a tag firmware file. Of course your tag firmware should be suitable for the right hardware. I don't know which are compatible, but this issue was about the access point, not about the tag firmware. :-)
