If you had a 10.3″ ePaper display sitting on your desk right now, what would you build? A low-power information board that runs for weeks? A wall-mounted hub for your smart home? We’ve seen the community do amazing things with small ePaper panels. Now it’s time to think bigger. Bigger doesn’t just about size. It’s about smoother refresh transitions when your data changes. It’s about richer grayscale that brings depth instead of flat contrast.
That’s why we built the XIAO ePaper DIY Kit — EE03. Powered by the XIAO ESP32-S3 Plus and designed specifically for a 10.3″ monochrome ePaper display, this kit brings your ideas to life with the scale and smoothness they deserve. Now available for $114.90.
What Makes It Stand Out
High-speed refresh: Large ePaper projects can be beautiful until you’re stuck waiting for the screen to refresh. If you’ve ever watched an ePaper panel take 20 seconds to fully update, you know how much that can break the flow. With the XIAO ePaper DIY Kit-EE03, it drops to around 3 seconds. The difference is something you immediately feel. Updates are quicker and your display keeps up with your ideas instead of slowing them down.
Supported 16-level grayscale and high-resolution: Monochrome doesn’t have to feel stark. With 16 levels of grayscale and high-resolution (1404×1872), your dashboard gains subtle depth and text looks crisp. Even the details stay sharp, although on a large screen.
No-code UI design: Building your interface shouldn’t feel like a coding marathon. EE03 comes pre-flashed with SenseCraft HMI, so getting started is simple. With ready-to-use templates and drag-and-drop tools, you can create your own dashboard in minutes without a single line of code.
