Design UI file with SquareLine Studio¶
Get Started with SquareLine Studio¶
Please click the card below to learn how to download the SquareLine Studio, and how to export the demo UI file.
Please click to download the demo for "Example Demonstration" section in "Get Started with SquareLine Studio".
Design UI file with SquareLine Studio¶
Let's start learning how to create our own UI after getting an initial understanding of SquareLine Studio.
-
Open the SquareLine Studio and create a project. Select "Arduino"->"Arduino with TFT_eSPI".
Note:
When select the Arduino framwork, there's only one option "Arduino with TFT_eSPI". By choosing this, the squareline studio will generate a template code suitable for the TFT_eSPI library. However, squareline studio not only supports the TFT_eSPI library, it supports a variety of libraries to suit different hardware and application needs. For example, Adafruit_GFX library, LovyanGFX etc.
After using SLS to generate UI code, we then use different graphics libraries according to different hardware and modify the corresponding code to display the content you design.
-
Set the name of the project, set the screen resolution to 320*240, set the color depth to 16bit, and keep other default settings. After setting, click CREATE to create the project.
- 16-bit color depth: can represent 65,536 colors through RGB 5:6:5 sub-pixel representation, that is, each RGB channel occupies 5 bits and 1 bit (a total of 16 bits) to represent colors.
-
After creation, enter the following interface with a blank background.
-
In the "Assets" area, click "ADD FILE TO ASSETS" to add custom images or icons.
Please click to download the custom images used in this tutorial.
Note:
Images only support PNG format. The pixels of the image need to be smaller than the pixel size of the screen used in your project. The size of each image should not exceed 100k, preferably within 30k, to provide a smooth display effect.
-
Add background.
Find "Inspector"->"STYLE SETTING", click to expand "STYLE(MAIN)", then click the 2nd "Background". Check the "Bg Image" and select the background image.
-
Add Label widget to display temperature and humidity.
Click "Label" in the "Widgets" area, and "Label1" will be added to the current Screen.
The position and size of the label can be adjusted by dragging the mouse. You can also directly enter numbers in the Inspector→LABEL→Transform to adjust.
You can set the font color and other attributes in STYLE SETTING→STYLE(MAIN).
Add a Label2 to display the humidity value in the same way. You can also directly right-click the Label1 to duplicate it.
Then set different positions for the Label2.
Modify the text content to display a default value.
-
Add Button widget to control the LED.
Click "Button" in the "Widgets" area, and "Button1" will be added to the current Screen.
The position and size of the label can be adjusted by dragging the mouse. You can also directly enter numbers in the Inspector→BUTTON→Transform to adjust.
Add an identification symbol to the button. The button in this tutorial controls the LED switch, so you only need to mark the button "on" and "off". You can add LABEL widgets or add a background images to the button. This tutorial will demonstrate how to add a background image to a button.
Click the Button1, then find Inspector->STYLE SETTINGS ->STYLE(MAIN) ->Background, and select the image.
In the same way, duplicate a Button widget. And drag it to the corresponding position to modify different background image.
Set the status of the button to identify different states.
In "Inspector"->"STYLE SETTINGS"->"STATE", set display white background color by DEFAULT and red when on the PRESSED state.
Make the same settings for the "OFF" button.
-
Add events to buttons.
Note: Because the button controls the on and off of the LED, we can add any event here to generate the code framework for the button event when exporting the UI file. We will modify the code of the button event to control the LED latter.
Select the button and click "ADD EVENT".
Select "released" as the trigger condition, select a trigger event in "Action". It will be modified in the generated program to achieve the LED control function.
Complete the event. Here I choose to change the screen, and the screen to be switched is Screen1.
Add event to Button2 (OFF) in the same way.
-
Export UI files.
Click "File" -> "Project Settings" and make settings for the exported file.
Set the export path of the file (set the path according to your own file).
Fill in lvgl.h in LVGL Include Path. Check "Flat export(exports all files to one folder )".
Then click "APPLY CHANGES".
Tips: After selecting the flat export, the output files will be in the same folder, so that the output code does not need to modify the path in the program. If not, the output files will be classified and placed in different folders. The compiler may not be able to recognize different paths, which will cause some trouble. In this case, the user needs to modify it manually, so it is recommended to select all files to be output to the same folder.
Export UI files. The exported files will be in the path we set earlier.
In order to be used with the main program, all UI files generated need to be placed in the same folder as the main program.
Please click to download the main program(and the expert UI is included).
-
Modify the button event code.
Open the main program. And all the UI file in the same folder will open too.
First, define an extern variable in the ui.h file to store the status of the LED. In the main program, the LED light is controlled to turn on and off by judging the status of this variable.
Then find "FUNCTION" in the ui.c file. Here is the corresponding code generated when we add events in SquareLine.
Comment out or delete the code circled in red in the picture above, add new code to assign a value to the LED variable.
- When button 1 (ON button) is pressed, set the LED value to 1.
- When button 2 (OFF button) is pressed, set the LED value to 0.
The UI file export is completed, and the button event function is also modified. Next we're going to learn about the Arduino main program and learn how to upload the code to the board.
Build the Project with Arduino IDE¶
Get Started with Arduino IDE¶
Please click the card below to learn how to install Arduino IDE, and install ESP32 board in the Arduino IDE.

If you install the TFT_eSPI libraries by Library Manager, you need to modify User_Setup.h file accordding to the hardware specification.(Please refer to the library provided)
Code Explanation¶
Basic Definition
/*Define an variable to set the state of the led*/
int led;
//Screen resolution definition, the resolution of 2.8 inches is 320*240
/*Changing the screen resolution*/
static const uint16_t screenWidth = 320;
static const uint16_t screenHeight = 240;
/*Define buffer variables to initialize the LVGL display driver and prepare a buffer to store pixel data that will be rendered to the screen. The size of this buffer is preferably about 1/10 of the product of screen pixel values, which can take into account both the main control performance and the smoothness of the screen display. Taking 8 as an example here, the display will be smoother.*/

static lv_color_t buf1[ screenWidth * screenHeight / 8 ];
// Initialize DHT20 sensor
Crowbits_DHT20 dht20;
TFT_eSPI lcd = TFT_eSPI(); /* TFT Example */
Function
/* Display Refresh */
/*The function of this code is to use the LCD object to perform the display refresh operation based on the given refresh area and color data, and notify the display driver to complete the refresh operation through the LVGL library. w * h indicates the number of color data, and true indicates that the color data written is 16 bits.*/

/*Read Touchpad*/
/*The function of this code is to read the input status and coordinate information of the touch screen and store the results in the specified data structure. If the touch screen is touched, the coordinate information of the touch screen will also be printed to the serial monitor.
The number 600 represents the timeout in milliseconds, which is the maximum amount of time to wait while waiting for touch screen input.
When the lcd.getTouch function is called, it will try to read the input status and coordinate information of the touch screen. If the input is successfully read within 600 milliseconds, the function will return true, indicating that the touch screen was touched. If no input is read within 600 milliseconds, the function will return false, indicating that the touch screen was not touched.
This timeout can be adjusted as needed. A shorter timeout may prevent all coordinate points from being accurately captured when swiping quickly on the touch screen, while a longer timeout may increase response time. This timeout value can be adjusted appropriately according to specific application scenarios and requirements.*/

Example6: Initialize the interact communication of Bluetooth¶
Please check if you have installed the library BLE(Copy the BLE folder in the libraries downloaded above to the .../arduino/libraries directory). Upload the following code to the board, and use the phone to search the Bluetooth device.
#include "BLEDevice.h" //BLE drive library
#include "BLEServer.h" //BLE server library
#include "BLEUtils.h" //BLE Utility library
#include "BLE2902.h" //Feature Add Descriptor Library
#include <BLECharacteristic.h> //BLE Feature function library
BLEAdvertising* pAdvertising = NULL;
BLEServer* pServer = NULL;
BLEService *pService = NULL;
BLECharacteristic* pCharacteristic = NULL;
#define bleServerName "ESP32SPI-BLE" //BLE Server name
#define SERVICE_UUID "6479571c-2e6d-4b34-abe9-c35116712345" //Server UUID
#define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID "826f072d-f87c-4ae6-a416-6ffdcaa02d73"
bool connected_state = false; //Create device connection identifier
class MyServerCallbacks: public BLEServerCallbacks //Create connection and disconnection calling classes
{
void onConnect(BLEServer *pServer)//Start connecting function
{

Example7: Initialize the WIFI¶
Please check if you have installed the bilrary WiFi(Copy the WiFi folder in the libraries downloaded above to the .../arduino/libraries directory). Upload the following code to the board.
#include <WiFi.h>
const char *ssid = "elecrow888"; //Change to your SSID
const char *password = "elecrow2014"; //Change to your password
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
WiFi.setAutoReconnect(true);//Set up automatic reconnection
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(100);
Serial.println("connecting");
}
Serial.println("WiFi is connected.");
Serial.println("IP address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
// WiFi.disconnect();
}
void loop() {
}
Example8: Connect Crowtail-GPS module via UART to Get Location¶
//at 9600 bps 8-N-1
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SoftSerial(6, 7);
unsigned char buffer[256]; // buffer array for data recieve over serial port
int count=0; // counter for buffer array
void setup()
{
SoftSerial.begin(9600); // the SoftSerial baud rate
Serial.begin(9600); // the Serial port of Arduino baud rate.
}
void loop()
{
if (SoftSerial.available()) // if date is comming from softwareserial port ==> data is comming from SoftSerial shield
{
while(SoftSerial.available()) // reading data into char array
{
buffer[count++]=SoftSerial.read(); // writing data into array
if(count == 256)break;
}
Serial.write(buffer,count); // if no data transmission ends, write buffer to hardware serial port
clearBufferArray(); // call clearBufferArray function to clear the storaged data from the array
count = 0; // set counter of while loop to zero
}
if (Serial.available()) // if data is available on hardwareserial port ==> data is comming from PC or notebook
SoftSerial.write(Serial.read()); // write it to the SoftSerial shield
}
void clearBufferArray() // function to clear buffer array
{
for (int i=0; i<count;i++)
{ buffer[i]=NULL;} // clear all index of array with command NULL
}
