I originally found your channel when I needed help getting started with my T-Display S3 Long. I really appreciate your tutorials and narration style. Can’t wait to watch your SquareLine Studio tutorials!
My man! Good job. I can't wait till for the tutorials. Like I suggested before, please make tutorials where the screen controls some thing like a motor, rpm or relay. Or receives sensor input to display like RPM, temps. and so forth. Your videos are very informative and super inspirational! Thank you for doing what you do.
I have looked at SquareLine Studio in the past, but I didn't have a UI project in mind. Some of the tutorials getting the ESP32 with touch display seemed complicated so I decided to hold off. If you can make a decent tutorial, it might help me with a future project. Thanks!
Thanks for all the great videos, I found your channel from the ones for the M5 Stick/Stack. A tutorial for using the "Cheap Yellow Display" for Squareline Studio would be great, and for me personally with it being aimed towards MicroPython.
For your tutorials, please use the CYD, Cheap Yellow Display. ESP32, touch screen are the important parts, but it is easy to find, flexible, and cheap.
Be great to see how to interface with non touch boards too. Using a combination of a rotary encoder and the two buttons on the T-Display S3 OLED would be great.
About time! I wanted to show you how to use SquareLine a while back. I've never been one for making and editing videos however and got too frustrated in the process. I guess I'm getting old(er). My coding is nowhere near your level and my biggest issue with SquareLine was that I could spend an hour or a few making great ui's but they never worked once uploaded. Everything was there but touching the screen or clicking buttons never really done more. I thought I would have to edit the code also which after looking at it, was an absolute nightmare. I guess now you will teach me. If you had any idea just how much I have learned from your videos you would be astonished. I have a full lab with everything one would need equipment and component wise. I'm stocked to the teeth with dozens of micro controllers, More LilyGo boards than a normal person could ever need and missing the knowledge hehe. I'm getting there though. Thanks again!
Looks great and will look into the squareline - would be great for the tutorials on the lilygo t-display amoled if possible. That would be my vote. thanks for all the great info.
I would like to see how to use SquareLine studio to program a LilyGo T-Display and PlatformIO under Visual Studio Code. I have tried to design some basic things using this software, but I got a little confused when I had to export and manually copy some libraries to my project (maybe I did not understand correctly what to do). About the project, anything simple to show the basic steps to start a project from scratch and upload it to the board. That would be much appreciated. Thanks and congratulations for what you do.
Would be awesome, i also tried me with an esp32 s3 round display an wanted to connect it with my phone to display music Navigation and weather on the small screen but dont know where to start :/ …. At least i found this amazing Channel
Code generators like SquareLine Studio simplify things but if you are implementing code that you don't develop and understand, you might as well buy rather than make your own projects. Getting there is most of the fun. I love your channel.
Great video and I look forward to seeing more on Squareline. To answer your questions, it would be great to stick to one or two generic, easy to get boards with a touchscreen. Anything from lilygo at a good price would work well. For tutorials, things like assigning a function to a button or assigning the rtc chip to the time on the screen would be great.
I currently see the biggest problem in the compiler. There are now quite a few DIY projects that can no longer be reproduced because they require very specific libraries and specific compiler versions. If something is wrong, you get error messages that you can't do anything with.
Yes, I tried a couple of projects, and I couldn't figure out which version of wifi library, or some others, too... The ESP32 space has become a bit "cluttered", a bit "wild West".... I'm poking around with Rust, and probably try to use ST's IDE, and it looks like NXP and Infineon are trying to get good infrastructure in place, too
Nice video. For most of my projects, running my own code to draw the screen gives me the flexibility I need. But if I find I don't need as much control for a future project. I'll certainly give this a go.
Keep going! I have also just decided to use Squareline w/ LVGL for UI for a small 128x64 OLED. I was writing all code manually but very time consuming and frustrating as LVGL changed version (and code) often.
Looking great as always! Any Chance you could revisit the lilygo T-display S3 long with squareline? I believe nick posted a working lvgl odometer example but I for one have had alot of black screens trying to adapt it myself... Cheers
I'm learning and need an end-to-end example of a simple T4S3 SquareLine project, from start to working display. The problem is tft_espi doesn't support it, especially for the Arduino IDE. I don't want to learn IDF right now. Thanks for considering my request.
I have not used Square Line Studio yet, but I did a few projects using Nextion's display programmer thing. It does have some nice speed advantages in both development and execution, but the major drawback is the hassle of uploading the new code to the display each time I make an edit. The Nextion code has to be uploaded either via SD card or I eventually installed a switch so that the display is either connected to the MCU or the programmer. So how are you uploading the display code with these Square Line displays?
Glad I found you 👏, very interesting videos you are making, you have earned a loyal subscriber 💪, just a question what pin mapping you have used for the m5dial in the user_setup.h in the tft esp folder to make it work with squareline studio
@@hamouz718 thank you. No, you dont need change anything in tft espi library when working with m5dial. I will make video about this topic. M5stack boards are sometimes painfull when dealing with lvgl and sqareline.
@@VolosProjects fantastic, will look forward to that, didn't work for me with original setting, after trying everything, I instead just use code for now
While you are on the learning curve, I would surely like to see an end-to-end from start of project to working display for a simple T4S3 SquareLine project. The trouble, so far, is that it is not supported by tft_espi. And, specifically for the Arduino IDE. I can't see going through the learning curve for IDF. Thanks for considering this request.
Aesthetics only: The Layout, you could make it have different styles or to change the positions, that change at a certain configuration by the user, example: have 3 layout styles that will change every 2 days or at random
I would find Squareline tutorials very useful. It's something there are not very many of and the software is advanced so watching somebody show off how to do stuff would be beneficial for sure.
I am looking for the simplest way to create a gauge for a analog sensor (basically, a oil pressure gauge). It looks like Squareline Studio can work for creating the actual graphics, but how do you incorporate the sensor calibration to make it all work? If you can cover that, that would be great.
Since you do these projects for customers I'm a bit surprised you still use the Arduino IDE and not Platformio. I switched a year ago and find the per project library management, multiple profiles per project, and editor features compelling. Can you comment on whether you've tried it and why you stay with Arduino IDE?
Yes i used it for more than year and than i switched back to Arduino Ide. Becouse i have more than 100 diferent board,, sometimes in week i do many diferent project with diferent boards .Arduino ide is fastest when i need switch from to another board. Also evry day i got tons mails from people who still have black screen. It is easiest for me to expain what they need to setup if we both use Arduino. Another reason is that i dont care about UI to much, in my life i made so many programs in notepad. Platform io is nice but at the end result is same. I have feelling that many people want to use platform IO becouse they heard it is better, but they shode care more about learning to code. It happens my all the time. I spend few hours to helps them to install and setup platform io and later i realized thet they are completly beginers. But this is same in every hoby, when i played guitar i wish i spend more time playing guitar. I spend most of time searcing which guitar is best.
I would say use two boards for new tutorial series. Both regular Lilygo T-Display S3 as well as the touch version. If thats not possible than may be the touch version only
Hi Volos, I bought a Makerfabs MaTouch 7 inch display you used in a previous project. It would be great to use with LVGL. I wasn't able to make the library setup. Could you help me? I think a tutorial for LVGL setup would be very useful for many of us. Thanks
@@VolosProjects did you tried it? I have some progress starting from your sketch written for Matouch 7 video. I can write an "Hello World" on the display but all colors are inverted and also the touch doesn't work (it works but LVGL can't sense the touches). Please let me know. I think this could be useful for many other people. Thanks for your time.
i would love to learn to use SquareLine Studio. But would like to see a working clock with internet weather working for LillyGo displays, from touch to the non touch ones like the S3's, etc. I would pay for it as well. 🤑👍
Nice if you made a stock interface. Where you kan input stock symbols and have them flash green or red depending on if the stock goes up or down. Fetching stock information from Yahoo Finance.
Hi!. Thank you for this video. I didn’t know about SquareLine Studio, but It seems expensive. But I will try it like most of your proyects. Could you share the code of your TDisplay S4 shown in the video?
Can I send you a Lily Pi to use with the tutorials, that board is little ugly but is complete with SD card, RTC, relay output, 2I2C ports battery so please take a look. The hardware is very supported by ttgo and community and libraries are very completed... It also works for T-watch, is the same hardware... Ah I forgot to tell you 480x320 resolution..
I've been enjoying following your channel - because you didn't use SquareLine Studio. It's unsuitable for Open Source projects, so I'm always looking for alternatives. So our roads will split here - I stop subscribing to your channel and will search for somebody else who works with true open source solutions.
Square line studio. It has a fairly limited free version, but, yes, subscriptions. .... Kind of bummed me out, too, but I think that ST has a bunch of graphic support in the last few months.
BTW LVGL and SquareLine Studio have parted ways. But EEZ Studio appears highly regarded and is free.

Why not keep everything open source by using eez studio
The lack of a layout manager with LVGL still buggs me.
I hope you "graduate" to using PlatformIO instead of Arduino - go industrial strength!
I used platform IO for 1 year and i quit from it. Yes it is better than Arduino IDE, but at the end ,result is same.
cool!
Now that squareline studio has decided to part ways with lvgl and develop it as independent UI software, you start using it😂
Please if you publish a video fix the focus of the view
