Soldered Inkplate 13SPECTRA - 13.3" Color e-Paper Display with Enclosure and Battery

Description

Inkplate 13SPECTRA features a 13.3" E-Ink Spectra 6 display with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 px, capable of displaying six colors: black, white, yellow, red, blue, and green. The board is powered by an ESP32-S3-WROOM-2-N32R16V with a dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor running at up to 240 MHz, 32 MB Flash, and 16 MB PSRAM. Wireless connectivity includes 2.4 GHz WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 5 LE. A full color screen refresh takes approximately 19 seconds, making the board particularly suitable for information panels, calendars, digital photo frames, smart home dashboards, and other applications requiring a large display with periodic updates. The Arduino library supports dithering algorithms and Sparkle partial updates.

The board provides 3x Qwiic I2C connectors, a microSD card slot, a 16-line GPIO expander, and a PCF85063A RTC with CR2032 battery backup. USB-C is used for programming, serial communication, and battery charging, while deep sleep current consumption is approximately 14 µA. Supported development environments include Arduino IDE, MicroPython, ESP-IDF, LVGL, and ESPHome, allowing Inkplate to be used in standalone IoT devices and panels integrated with Home Assistant. Version 333366 includes a 3D-printed enclosure and a 3000 mAh Li-Ion battery. The device measures 300.7 x 224.8 x 14.7 mm with the display, enclosure, and battery.
