Update: Full support for Spectra E6 7.3" spi epaper achieved 11,09,2026.
Includes but never limited to:
Full screen 800×480 20fps grayscale video with no ghosting - optional sepia color toning (color video*).
27 distinct waveform luts - thats 21 more flavors then before.
Text loading - unsure its actual timing but a whole fine print page loads perfectly smooth in the blink of an eye and clears to white just as fast.
Deliverable? 99.999% Its wrapped it up in a library for you makers just let us get through some more validation testing before.
monochrome/grayscale/3 and 4 color epaper support is being updated with many optimizations.
With the right test rig and data sheets any* spi type display can be added - I’m sure one day we’ll find one but not yet.
Here’s a teaser.
In this ultra fast color mode frames load in at an incredible 0.5fps! Hah, ah doesn't sound like much but this gets us thousands of perceived colors on screen in under 2s without the annoying flashes. Stock driver got you 6 colors maybe 32 with some tricks and took a minimum 37s an image.
Filmed this in real time on a 8mp rolling shutter manual focus unbranded webcam,
in person its all a bit smoother and the colors not as warm i forgot to set the white balance.
The panel on show today was sent over by Seeed Studio, entirely free to me and free of NDA’s or demands of any kind. Makes things easy when its just a very nice interaction with the people designing your next favorite gadgets.
"Insert missing github link here" - that last bit is in progress, bit of stress testing the display to make sure non of the driving modes have any ill effect. So far nothing at well over a million page changes. No staining that doesn’t clear after a full white and color clear which i only run once an hour typically just at the start of a test to reset the baseline.
More on its way. Stay Frosty.
