M5Stack PaperMono

The M5Stack PaperMono is a compact ESP32-S3 e-paper dev board with touch, NFC, LoRa, Wi-Fi and a built-in battery for low-power connected projects.

The M5Stack PaperMono is an e-paper dev board built around low-power display, near-field identification, and long-range communication capabilities.

It features a touch-enabled 3.97" 480 x 800 4-level grayscale monochrome e-paper display, and integrates a frontlight system for a more comfortable reading and interaction experience in low-light environments.

The core adopts an ESP32-S3R8, paired with 16MB Flash, 8MB PSRAM, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, along with an onboard buzzer, PDM microphone, RGB LED, 6-axis IMU, IO expander, microSD card slot, and real-time clock. the internal battery is rechargeable via the USB-C port (USB-C cable not included).

The NFC functionality supports ISO14443A, ISO14443B, FeliCa™, and ISO15693; LoRa communication adopts the SX1262 chip with a built-in FPC antenna, supporting the 868MHz ~ 923MHz band. Combined with a multi-level power management system and 1150mAh battery, it meets the requirements of low-power IoT and embedded applications such as e-readers, e-paper signage, access control terminals, identity authentication, and intelligent transportation.
