 # Arduino
 
 The [LVGL library](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl) is directly available as Arduino libraries.
 
 Note that you need to choose a board powerful enough to run LVGL and your GUI.  See the [requirements of LVGL](https://docs.lvgl.io/master/intro/index.html#requirements).
 
 For example ESP32 is a good candidate to create UI's with LVGL.
 
 ## Get the LVGL Arduino library
 
 LVGL can be installed via the Arduino IDE Library Manager or as a .ZIP library.
 
 You can [Download](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) the latest version of LVGL from GitHub and simply copy it to Arduino's library folder.
 
 ## Set up drivers
 
 To get started it's recommended to use [TFT_eSPI](https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI) library as a TFT driver to simplify testing.
 To make it work, setup `TFT_eSPI` according to your TFT display type via editing either
 - `User_Setup.h`
 - or by selecting a configuration in the `User_Setup_Select.h`
 
 Both files are located in `TFT_eSPI` library's folder.
 
 ## Configure LVGL
 
 LVGL has its own configuration file called `lv_conf.h`. When LVGL is installed, follow these configuration steps:
 1. Go to the directory of the installed Arduino libraries
 2. Go to `lvgl` and copy `lv_conf_template.h` as `lv_conf.h` into the Arduino Libraries directory next to the `lvgl` library folder.
 3. Open `lv_conf.h` and change the first `#if 0` to `#if 1` to enable the content of the file
 4. Set the color depth of you display in `LV_COLOR_DEPTH`
 5. Set `LV_TICK_CUSTOM 1`
 
 Finally the layout with `lv_conf.h` should look like this:
 ```
 arduino
  |-libraries
    |-lvgl
    |-other_lib_1
    |-other_lib_2
    |-lv_conf.h
 ```
 
 ## Initialize and run LVGL
 
 Take a look at [LVGL_Arduino.ino](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/examples/arduino/LVGL_Arduino/LVGL_Arduino.ino) to see how to initialize LVGL.
 `TFT_eSPI` is used as the display driver.
 
 In the INO file you can see how to register a display and a touchpad for LVGL and call an example.
 
 ## Use the examples and demos
 
 Note that, there is no dedicated INO file for every example. Instead, you can load an example by calling an `lv_example_...` function. For example `lv_example_btn_1()`.
 
 **IMPORTANT**
 Due to some the limitations of Arduino's build system you need to copy `lvgl/examples` to `lvgl/src/examples`. Similarly for the demos `lvgl/demos` to `lvgl/src/demos`.
 
 ## Debugging and logging
 
 LVGL can display debug information in case of trouble.
 In the `LVGL_Arduino.ino` example there is a `my_print` method, which sends this debug information to the serial interface.
 To enable this feature you have to edit the `lv_conf.h` file and enable logging in the section `log settings`:
 
 ```c
 /*Log settings*/
 #define USE_LV_LOG      1   /*Enable/disable the log module*/
 #if LV_USE_LOG
 /* How important log should be added:
  * LV_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE       A lot of logs to give detailed information
  * LV_LOG_LEVEL_INFO        Log important events
  * LV_LOG_LEVEL_WARN        Log if something unwanted happened but didn't cause a problem
  * LV_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR       Only critical issue, when the system may fail
  * LV_LOG_LEVEL_NONE        Do not log anything
  */
 #  define LV_LOG_LEVEL    LV_LOG_LEVEL_WARN
 ```
 
 After enabling the log module and setting LV_LOG_LEVEL accordingly, the output log is sent to the `Serial` port @ 115200 bps.
