ESP32-C6 with screen

Status: supported. Labels: about 500. Release file: openesl-ap-esp32c6-lcd-<version>.bin

The same as the ESP32-C6, on a board with a 0.96" 160 × 80 colour screen (sold as "ESP32-C6 LCD 0.96 inch ST7789 160x80", often with an SD slot that is not used). It costs about 10 $. Same limits as the plain C6, and like it no weather by itself.

In a 3D-printed case, running about 260 labels

The bare board on its USB-C plug

What the screen shows

While the AP has no WiFi it shows the setup network's name and 192.168.4.1/setup, so you know where to go (WiFi and API token).

If the screen looks wrong

At start the screen shows a yellow frame for two seconds. A missing or doubled edge, wrong colours or an upside-down picture can be fixed with settings when you build it yourself; see ap/README.md.
