The Waveshare ESP32-S3 ePaper 13.3E6 preset is for Waveshare's ESP32-S3 board paired with the
13.3" 1600×1200 Spectra 6 panel. In FrameOS it uses the hardware preset
waveshare_esp32_s3_epaper_13_3e6, which selects the waveshare.EPD_13in3e panel driver, the
13.3E6 GPIO map, and the TF card asset mount.
Use this page for the ESP32-S3 13.3E6 hardware. If you are driving the same panel from a Raspberry Pi, use the Waveshare 13.3" (E) page instead.
How it works
FrameOS builds a dedicated ESP32-S3 firmware image for the board. The 13.3E6 preset uses 32MB
flash, 16MB PSRAM, dual chip-select wiring for the large panel, and /srv/assets on the TF card
for local assets.
The firmware renders scenes on-device, dithers them to the Spectra 6 palette, and refreshes the panel over the board's SPI wiring.
Setup
- In the FrameOS backend, create a frame with Flash embedded device.
- Choose ESP32-S3, select the Waveshare ESP32-S3 ePaper 13.3E6 hardware preset, and enter WiFi details.
- Build the firmware and flash it over USB from the browser.
- Install scenes as usual. The device syncs scene JSON and renders without SSH or Linux.
