Development Board with AMOLED Display - ESP32-C6-Touch-AMOLED-1.8 - Waveshare 33366

Description

ESP32-C6-Touch-AMOLED-1.8 is a compact development board designed by Waveshare, based on the ESP32-C6 microcontroller with a RISC-V core. The design integrates a 1.8-inch color AMOLED display with a capacitive touch panel, enabling the development of devices with a local user interface and support for modern wireless communication standards.

The AMOLED display provides a resolution of 368 x 448 pixels, a wide viewing angle, and very high contrast, ensuring clear presentation of graphics, animations, and text. The SH8601 display driver and the FT3168 or FT6146 touch controller use QSPI and I2C interfaces respectively, reducing GPIO usage and simplifying application design.

The board is equipped with an advanced power management system based on the AXP2101 IC, support for a 3.7 V battery via an MX1.25 connector, and a PCF85063 real-time clock. Additional onboard components include a 6-axis IMU, a low-power audio codec, a microphone, and a speaker, allowing the development of multimedia projects, HMI interfaces, and smart IoT devices. The board supports ESP-IDF and Arduino IDE environments.

1. ESP32-C6 - The SoC with WiFi and Bluetooth, up to 160MHz operating frequency 
2. QMI8658 - 6-axis IMU includes a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer
3. PCF85063 - RTC chip
4. AXP2101 - Highly integrated power management IC
5. ES8311 - Low power audio codec IC
6. Speaker
7. Backup Batt pads - for connecting backup Batt, ensuring RTC function during the replacement of the main Batt
8. MX1.25 Lithium Batt header - MX1.25 2PIN connector, for 3.7V Lithium Batt (optional), supports charging and discharging.(To fit inside the case, a Batt size of 3.85 x 24 x 28 mm is recommended)
9. 16MB NOR-Flash - for storing data 
10. Microphone - for audio capture
11. Onboard antenna - supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 5 (LE) 
12. Reserved GPIO pads (pitch 1.5mm) - Adopting available I/O function pins for easy expansion
13. BOOT button - for device startup and function debugging
14. USB Type-C port - ESP32-C6 USB interface, for programming and log printing 
15. PWM button - for system power supply ON/OFF, supports custom functions
