== 2.1 About this demo ==

91

92

In this Getting Start Example, we will show how to design a simple Display UI and upload it to LTS5. This UI has a button , when user click the button. The Web UI will jump to a new page.

93

94

== 2.2 Install Software Running Environment ==

95

96

The ESP MCU can be developed using ESP-IDF, Arduino, or MicroPython. For this project, we utilize ESP-IDF for compilation and Visual Studio Code (VSCode) for editing.

97

98

=== 2.2.1 Install VSCode and ESP-IDF extension ===

99

100

Firstly, download and install VSCode for your computer's operating system from the official website: [[Download Visual Studio Code - Mac, Linux, Windows>>url:https://code.visualstudio.com/download]].

101

102

Next, you need to install the ESP-IDF extension within VSCode. The detailed operation steps are illustrated in image 1.

109

110

=== 2.2.2 Install SquareLine Studio ===

111

112

The version we are utilizing for this software is 1.4.2. You can download it from the official link: [[SquareLine Studio - Download the current version of SquareLine Studio>>url:https://squareline.io/downloads#lastRelease]].

113

114

Please note that this software necessitates the registration of a license prior to usage, and various licenses come with distinct limitations. For instance, the free version imposes restrictions such as a limit of 1 component, 150 widgets, and 10 screens. However, for first-time downloads, you are granted unrestricted access for a period of 30 days without the need for immediate registration.

115

116

== 2.3 Simple usage of SquareLine Studio and export UI code ==

117

118

After launching and logging in to this software, create a project as shown in the following image 2. The version of LVGL is 8.3.11.

123

124

Next, we need to make some settings for this project. By clicking in the specified order on image 3, we can see the page as shown in image 4.

133

134

Now we can start to use this software. The steps for creating this UI are shown in image 5-10.

145

146

image 7 create a UI(3)

147

148

We repeat the steps of screen1 in screen2. Then we get screen2 as shown in image 8.

149

151

152

image 8 create a UI(4)

153

154

Finally, we add click event for screen change to button1 in screen1(shown in image 9) and button2 in screen2.

155

157

158

image 9 create a UI(5)

159

160

The event settings of button1 are as image 10 shown. The event adding operation of button2 is similar to button1.

161

163

164

image 10 create a UI(6)

165

166

== 2.4 Integrate UI Code to ESP-IDF Project ==

167

168

To achieve the integrating, we first need to export the UI code, then make some modifications, and finally relocate the UI code to a specific position within the project.

169

170

[[image:1727229798126-306.png]]

171

172

image 11 export UI file

173

174

[[image:1727229821582-258.png]]

175

176

image 12 exported UI file

177

178

Create a empty directory entitled ‘ui’ in path “basic_prj/app_components/ui/”, and then copy all UI code exported to this directory.

179

180

[[image:1727229892636-154.png]]

185

186

image 14 modify CMakeLists.txt

187

188

The last step of integrating is adding two lines of code in main.c file.

189

190

[[image:1727229926561-300.png]]

image 15 add “ui.h”

[[image:1727229955611-607.png]]

195

196

image 16 add “ui_init()”

197

198

== 2.5 Test Result ==

199

200

By pressing the button lying bottom right, the screen can switch to another as expected. This indicates that the UI file has been successfully integrated into the project and is now effective.
