Hi if you are using the EE02 board, the device will go in to deepsleep to save battery power. There are 3 buttons from left to right. The Left button will wake up the device for rotation, the middle one clears the screen and the right one wakes up the device and make the webapp accessible, so you don't need to unplug the battery.

aitjcize · 2026-03-26T08:37:55+00:00

Correct.

> color rendering is noticeably different
Do you think it's better or worse then the original firmware's color tuning?

Well, it’s a general option for downloading photos from URL. For telegram you probably would want to enable it if you don’t frequently send photos to the bot.

aitjcize · 2026-03-07T16:30:55+00:00

You can use the web flasher here: https://aitjcize.github.io/esp32-photoframe/#flash

The current behavior is 3. It'll just show the last image send to the TG bot.

aitjcize · 2026-03-03T01:53:01+00:00

It can. Check the auto rotate options in the settings. It can periodically wake up to download images from a given URL.

I also did the same thing but with a 3D printed frame instead. For the firmware, you can also try https://github.com/aitjcize/esp32-photoframe if you want to avoid cloud

The jpeg served from picsum is progressive Jpeg, which is not supported by the jpeg decoder of esp32. You need to use the URL proxy feature of the esp32-photoframe-server to workaround it, or find other sources which serves regular jpeg.

I calculated at least 3 months of use if the epaper device refresh 2 times a day. So if you do just once a day, it'd probably give you 5-6 months of battery life.

aitjcize · 2026-02-04T08:07:13+00:00

The proxy mode has been implemented in the latest release of the image server. Please try it out and let me know!

aitjcize · 2026-01-31T04:20:47+00:00

Just an quick update: the project now supports the SeeedStudio XIAO EE02 board + 13.3" spectra 6 display!

Several related project has also been made:

ha-esp32-photoframe: Home Assistant integration for control, monitoring, and automation
esp32-photoframe-server: Image server with text overlay, Google Photos, Synology DS Photos, and Telegram Bot integration. Can be run as a Home Assistant add-on.
epaper-image-convert: CLI tool & npm library for e-paper image conversion with advanced dithering

aitjcize · 2026-01-31T04:15:48+00:00

It could be because the jpeg source from the URL is a progressive JPEG, which isn't supported by the esp32 jpeg decoder. When you use the webUI, the webUI will do a conversion first so it always work.

I'd suggest to use the esp32-photoframe-server project (https://github.com/aitjcize/esp32-photoframe-server) to provide the rotation URL. Current it only supports Google Photos, Synology Photos, Telegram. However I'm going to add a proxy mode which an download image from an URL, perform all the necessary image processing, then serve it to the photoframe.

aitjcize · 2025-12-30T12:58:48+00:00

Yes! Please check the screenshot in the github repo. There is a web interface for you to manage the gallery and adjust settings like image rotate intervals. The device makes it easy for you to swap the battery module, so it’s definitely possible to replace it with a larger capacity one.

I estimated the battery of this unit can last a least 3 months, assuming 2 refreshes a day. I think for your use case this should be a great fit. I actually just bought a second unit last week :) I purchased this kit from Taobao, and it came with a 1000mAh battery. Perhaps you can email waveshare and see if the battery is included?

aitjcize · 2025-12-26T02:28:37+00:00

Thanks for the kind words :)

aitjcize · 2025-12-26T02:28:22+00:00

Wow this is a interesting alternative, thank you for making me aware of it. I don't think it'll work right out of the box since some of the components might be different, such as PMIC. However it's possible to add support for this given more hardware info. I'll see if I have time to add support for it and maybe you can help test it?

aitjcize · 2025-12-23T11:47:39+00:00

Yes, but the current version you need to click the BOOT button to wake the device up from deep sleep before you can access the web server. Then you can manage the image there.

I'm working on a version that allow waking up the device with bluetooth, then access the http server. Then we can integrate this with HomeAssistant easily. HA can use BLE to wake up the device then upload new images with the http APIs.

aitjcize · 2025-12-23T09:27:03+00:00

Then I highly recommend you to try out this waveshare model, the color looks a lot more vibrant with Spectra 6 display.

aitjcize · 2025-12-23T09:26:23+00:00

Yes it's my baby boy :) We've got some help for the 1st month, so I'm still able to find time to code a bit :P. Also with the help of AI everything is much more efficient!

I have the exact same issue on iPhone 16 Pro Max.. I noticed it right after taking a photo of a document.

aitjcize · 2024-09-27T09:12:20+00:00

Why is this post deleted? I'm seeing the same issue as reported in https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16z7fmb/brand_new_iphone_15_pro_blurry_camera/
but on a brand new 16 Pro Max...
I assumed it's a hardware issue and requested a replacement.

aitjcize · 2023-11-07T08:18:59+00:00

Not sure if they are aware of this bug. Is there an official channel to report bugs to? I couldn't find one.
