- Device: Waveshare 7.5" e-Paper HAT
- Variants: black/white (V2), black/white/red (B V2)
A popular, affordable starter panel. The HAT plugs directly onto the Pi's GPIO header - or connect the included adapter board with the supplied cable.
Setup
- Connect the panel to the Pi.
- Select the matching Waveshare 7.5" driver variant when adding the frame (V2 for current black/white panels, B V2 for the 3-color version).
- Save & deploy. The display will blink through its refresh cycle and show your scene.
If the image looks wrong, try the other 7.5" driver variants - Waveshare has shipped several revisions under the same product name.
ESP32 support
This panel is supported by the FrameOS ESP32 firmware: wire it to an ESP32-S3 over SPI, flash from the browser, and scenes render on the microcontroller itself - with over-the-air updates and an optional deep-sleep battery mode. Pick the exact Waveshare 7.5" driver variant when building firmware; each ESP32 image contains one selected panel driver.
