ESP32-C6 with 1.54 Inch E-Paper Display 200x200 AIoT Board

The ESP32-C6 with 1.54 Inch E-Paper Display 200x200 AIoT Board is a compact development board from Waveshare based on the ESP32-C6 microprocessor with a 32-bit RISC-V processor. The processor operates at a clock speed of up to 160 MHz and supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread. The integrated 1.54-inch E-Paper display offers a resolution of 200 × 200 pixels with two grayscale levels (black/white) and is known for its extremely low power consumption and excellent readability in ambient light. Onboard, there is an ES8311 audio codec chip with a microphone and speaker connection, enabling AI-powered voice interaction. An SHTC3 sensor measures temperature and humidity, while the PCF85063 RTC chip provides precise real-time clock functionality. For data storage, 16 MB of external NOR Flash and a TF card slot are available. Internal memory includes 512 KB of HP-SRAM, 16 KB of LP-SRAM, and 320 KB of ROM. The TCA9554 GPIO expander allows additional peripheral devices to be connected via I2C, and a 2×6-pin header with a 2.54 mm pitch enables expansion with external modules and sensors. Power supply is via USB-C or optionally through a 3.7V lithium battery with an MX1.25 connector and integrated charging circuit. The board supports the ESP-IDF and Arduino IDE development environments and is suitable for IoT terminals, electronic labels, and portable display devices.
