LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library) is the most popular, free and open-source graphics library for creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) with very small resource requirements. This makes it perfect for devices such as 16, 32 and 64-bit micro controllers (including the PIC, ESP32, STM32 and high-end Arduinos).

LVGL will work on any screen of any size including very cheap and small TFT (Thin Film Transistor) colour screens, making it ideal for projects with space constraints including watch faces, thermostats, coffee machines,  etc.

LVGL has many ‘widgets’ built in, enabling developers to build powerful applications with good looking UI’s that include button, dropdowns, charts, images and many more. This allows applications to have dashboards, forms and other UI’s that support advanced layouts, animations, custom themes, etc. It has built in interactivity for buttons, touch screens, mice, keypads, and keyboards making it easy for users to interact with your User Interface.

These features allow you to create applications that look slick and feel responsive.

LVGL is written in C/C++ however, the community has also put together bindings for python, Rust, JavaScript, and Zig

LVGL is free and opensource under the MIT license. This makes LVGL ideal for both commercial and hobby applications.

We cover how the library works, setting up a simulator as well as usage on a variety of chips including the Arduino and the ESP32
