This guide does not reflect the offical Waveshare C implementation guide. There are different concepts and mappings to buttons. Whilst the configuration of this software will reach 100% support of the Waveshare implementation, it does not mean it is done the same way.
This guide will be updated before the first official release of the software.
The app switcher is a list of all apps that can be selected. The app name will show on the screen and you can use the buttons as outlined below to navigate the menu.
You can load the app switcher by performing a long press on the top button. This will happen no matter what else you are doing with the clock. Double clicks will toggle the backlight automatically changing. This will also happen no matter what else you are doing with the clock.

The settings app is where all configuration for the clock is done. You will have to go through each setting to complete the journey, though you can exit early by going to the app switcher (just make sure you have completed and gone past the item you wanted to change)
Go to the next settings item and save the configuration.
When modifying the time, this will set the seconds to 0. So make sure you modify you save at an appropriate time or the clock will become out of sync.
This will increment the current active configuration. Will automatically wrap at maximum values (e.g. minute configuration will go from 59 -> 0).
This will decrement the current active configuration value. Will automatically wrap at minimum values (e.g. minute configuration will go from 0 -> 59).
