BYOD Display Guide

With Zenso’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, makers can build custom smart frames using off-the-shelf electronic paper panels.

  • Waveshare 7.3” Spectra 6 (E6): 800×480, full 6-color vibrant pigment palette.
  • Waveshare 7.3” ACeP (7-Color): 800×480, 7-color gallery display.
  • Waveshare 5.65” 7-Color: 600×448 compact desk frame.
  • Waveshare 4.2” 3-Color (BWR): 400×300 black/white/red display.
  • Monochrome Panels: High-contrast black and white panels for fast text reading.

Connect your display’s 50-pin or 24-pin FPC ribbon cable to the carrier board. Ensure the blue stiffener faces upward before locking the FPC flip-lock connector.

In the Zenso Web Panel under Device Settings -> Display Profile, select Custom BYOD. Define your exact pixel dimensions (width/height), color depth (1bpp, 2bpp, or 4bpp), and assign your preferred color palette. The server will automatically render and quantize all widget screens to match your unique hardware specifications.
