Soldered Inkplate 6MOTION - 6-inch 1024 x 758 px e-paper display WiFi Bluetooth

Description

The 6-inch e-paper panel with a resolution of 1024 x 758 px and a pixel density of 212 PPI supports 4-bit grayscale with 16 shades and partial refresh in 91 ms, allowing refresh rates of up to 11 FPS. Full refresh takes 500 ms in black-and-white mode or 800 ms in grayscale mode. Processing is handled by the STM32H743ZIT6 with 2 MB of Flash memory and 1 MB of SRAM, supported by 32 MB of DRAM. The ESP32-C3 coprocessor provides WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The display parameters make the board suitable for user interfaces, smart home panels, data visualization systems, and projects requiring more frequent content updates than typical e-paper applications.

The integrated sensor set includes an LSM6DSO32 accelerometer and gyroscope, an SHTC3 temperature and humidity sensor, and an APDS-9960 proximity and gesture sensor. User controls include 3 push buttons, a rotary encoder with LED backlighting, and two programmable WS2812B RGB LEDs. The board provides a microSD slot, USB-C, Qwiic, and more than 30 GPIO lines supporting interfaces including Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and UART. The MCP73831 circuit enables charging of a connected battery, while current consumption in low-power mode is 22 µA. Inkplate 6MOTION supports Arduino, ESP-IDF, LVGL, and ESPHome and uses an e-paper panel recycled from an e-book reader.
