Introduction
1.The 4.2 inch Photo Board(4C) is an open-source 4-color E-Paper development board based on the ESP32-WROOM-32E MCU. It carries an onboard 4.2-inch black / white / red / yellow E-Paper display at 400×300 resolution, suitable for desktop photo frames,dynamic labels, low-power information displays, and similar applications.
2. Designed for makers, educators, and secondary developers, the board integrates a USB-C port, CH340C USB-to-serial bridge, TF card slot, three physical buttons, dual I/O expansion headers, plus the BOOT and RST buttons — flashing and debugging require no extra tools.
3. The companion sketch is built on the Arduino framework and provides a full photo-album manager plus a web configuration UI: upload an image through the browser and the board displays it. Auto-switching follows a configurable timer, with TF card mirror backup and one-click clear-all.

FAQ
- What if compilation shows insufficient capacity?
- Reduce font and bitmap resources, or choose a controller with more capacity.
- What if colors are abnormal?
- Check driver model, color order, and initialization orientation settings.
