Getting started
From the project's README ("Install"):
- Plug the Kindle in over USB.
- Create a folder called pw3clock inside extensions on the Kindle drive, replacing any earlier copy.
- Copy the contents of this repository into it. The folder must be named pw3clock: that path is baked into the launcher scripts and menu.json.
- Check that extensions/pw3clock/config.xml exists, and that you have not ended up with a nested extensions/pw3clock/kindle-departure-clock/. KUAL will not see the extension otherwise.
- Eject.
Set the Kindle's own clock in Settings first; the board just displays it.
Risk and recovery
- Brick risk
- Low
