⚠️ This library is now obsolete. Please use arduino/Arduino#10592 instead. ⚠️

Learn how to use LVGL with Ardunio: https://docs.lvgl.io/latest/en/html/get-started/arduino.html

LVGL Arduino library

This library allows to use LVGL (v7.0.x) as an Arduino library. Library can be installed via Arduino IDE Library Manager or as an .ZIP library.

Example

There is simple example which uses https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI library as an TFT driver to simplify testing. To get all this to work you have to setup TFT_eSPI to work with your TFT display type via editing the User_Setup.h file in TFT_eSPI library folder, or by selecting your own configurtion in the User_Setup_Select.h file in TFT_eSPI library folder.

LittlevGL library has its own configuration file in lv_conf.h file, which is locatd in LittlevGL library folder. Please get in mind to check that the corresponding resolutions in LVGL configuration match the ones in TFT_eSPI and with the physical resolution of your display.

Example result should look like this:

LVGL Arduino example result

Tested with:

  • My own ESP32 board, module ESP32 Wroom
  • PC OS: Linux, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  • IDE: Arduino IDE 1.8.12
  • ESP32 Core: 1.0.4

Debugging

In case of trouble there are debug informations inside LVGL. In the ESP32_TFT_eSPI example there is my_print method, which allow to send this debug informations to the serial interface. To enable this feature you have to edit lv_conf.h file and enable logging in section log settings:

/*Log settings*/
#define LV_USE_LOG      1   /*Enable/disable the log module*/
#if LV_USE_LOG
/* How important log should be added:
 * LV_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE       A lot of logs to give detailed information
 * LV_LOG_LEVEL_INFO        Log important events
 * LV_LOG_LEVEL_WARN        Log if something unwanted happened but didn't cause a problem
 * LV_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR       Only critical issue, when the system may fail
 * LV_LOG_LEVEL_NONE        Do not log anything
 */
#  define LV_LOG_LEVEL    LV_LOG_LEVEL_WARN

After enabling log module and setting LV_LOG_LEVEL accordingly the output log is sent to the Serial port @ 115200 Bd.
