EnkFi - ePaper Display Board Based on ESP32 S3 WROOM-1

The EnkFi series, powered by the ESP32 S3 WROOM-1, offers versatile e-paper display options in 2.9”, 4.2”, 5.83”, and 7.5” sizes, catering to diverse application needs. These displays feature a wide viewing angle of over 170 degrees and utilize bistable technology, ensuring no power consumption when the screen is not refreshed, making them highly energy-efficient. The black-white-red color scheme protects the eyes by eliminating blue light and radiation. With built-in Wi-Fi and BLE capabilities, the EnkFi series is ideal for IoT-based projects, providing robust connectivity.

The hardware includes both Serial UART and Native (D+/D-) Type C interfaces for programming convenience. Additional features include a GPIO breakout for peripheral interfacing, SD card for data logging, and a DS3231 RTC module for precise real-time tracking. These capabilities make the EnkFi series a powerful and versatile solution for various applications.
