  • lvgl

    Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.

  • TFT_eSPI

    Arduino and PlatformIO IDE compatible TFT library optimised for the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040), STM32, ESP8266 and ESP32 that supports different driver chips

    A fantastic work, one of the few true graphic libraries that are not the usual pset and drawcircle but true gui management in plain C!

    regarding esp32 porting, i have seen that it is possible to use other graphics libraries as 'low level drivers' (e.g. bodmer's classic TFT_eSPI[0]) but i still don't understand the pros and cons of this approach; hypothetically, if i used faster LovyanGFX[1], would LVGL gain in responsiveness?

    if so, how to do this?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • LovyanGFX

    SPI LCD graphics library for ESP32 (ESP-IDF/ArduinoESP32) / ESP8266 (ArduinoESP8266) / SAMD51(Seeed ArduinoSAMD51)

  • lvgl-sdl

    A crossplatform SDL wrapper for the Light and Versatile Graphics Library https://lvgl.io/.

  • lv_drivers

    TFT and touch pad drivers for LVGL embedded GUI library

    seems like LVGL has direct support for the frame buffer: https://github.com/lvgl/lv_drivers/blob/master/display/fbdev...

    other devices are supported too

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
