# LVGL Display Drivers for ESP IDF



An component for creation and management of displays using the LVGL graphics library on ESP-IDF platforms. The component provides defined configurations for preconfigured boards. It handles display controller initialization, LVGL task and timer management, and provides a scoped mutex to manage access to LVGL components.



LVGL Display Drivers for ESP IDF is available as an ESP IDF component, and can be easily integrated into existing ESP-IDF projects using the component manager or cloned directly from the project repository. The component is built on top of the popular LVGL library and is an amalgamation of espressif/esp_lvgl_port and esp-idf native display drivers.



# Example Usage



```c++

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 



#include 



#include "esp_system.h"



// Get an instance of the LVGL Display Controller

constexpr auto Display = LVGLDisplay::Controller::instance;



// The screen label to change.

lv_obj_t* label;



// Function to create a "Hello World" label on the display

void create_hello_world() {

  // LVGL operations are not thread safe. To avoid conflicts, we acquire the

  // mutex for the controller before accessing LVGL APIs. The mutex is released

  // once the lock goes out of scope.

  auto lock = LVGLDisplay::Lock();



  // Set the background color of the screen to a black.

  lv_obj_set_style_bg_color(lv_scr_act(), lv_color_hex(0x000000), LV_PART_MAIN);



  // Add a red border around the edge of the screen to help set offsets.

  lv_obj_set_style_border_color(lv_scr_act(), lv_color_hex(0xFF00000), LV_PART_MAIN);

  lv_obj_set_style_border_width(lv_scr_act(), 1, LV_PART_MAIN);

  



  // Create a label object with the text "Hello world"

  label = lv_label_create(lv_scr_act());

  lv_label_set_text(label, "");



  // Set the text color to white

  lv_obj_set_style_text_color(lv_scr_act(), lv_color_hex(0xffffff), LV_PART_MAIN);



  // Align the label object to the center of the screen

  lv_obj_align(label, LV_ALIGN_CENTER, 0, 0);

}



// Main function

extern "C" void app_main(void) {

  // Initialise the display controller, allocate required resources, and start

  // the LVGL main task and timer.

  Display().initialise();



  // Turn the backlight on

  Display().backlight(true);



  // Create a "Hello World" label on the display

  create_hello_world();



  size_t seconds = 0;

  char text[32] = "";



  // Loop forever

  while(1) {

    snprintf(text, 32, "Hello world %u", seconds++);



    // Update the display with the current elapsed seconds.

    // Use a static lock, which does not rely on scope.

    LVGLDisplay::Lock::acquire();

    lv_label_set_text(label, text);

    LVGLDisplay::Lock::release();



    // Delay the task for 1000ms (1 second)

    vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(1000));

  }

}

```
