The XIAO 7.5" ePaper Panel is a finished desk display: a 7.5" 800×480 black/white panel in a white case with a stand, driven by a XIAO ESP32-C3, with a 2000 mAh battery that Seeed rates at about three months in deep sleep.
The C3 has no PSRAM, so FrameOS runs it as a thin client: your backend renders the scene and the board draws it, the same way as the TRMNL OG. FrameOS Cloud can't render for thin clients yet, so this one needs a self-hosted backend. If you want a 7.5" black/white frame that renders by itself, the reTerminal E1001 and the TRMNL 7.5" DIY Kit do.
Setup
- In the FrameOS backend, create a frame with Flash embedded device.
- Choose ESP32-C3, select the Seeed XIAO 7.5" ePaper Panel preset (
seeed_xiao_epaper_7in5) and enter your WiFi details. - Flash it over USB from the browser, then install scenes as usual.
The BOOT key (GPIO 9) arrives in scenes as a button event. FrameOS doesn't read this board's battery.
