Creating a demo GUI for an Speed and RPM using an ESP32 and a 3.5-inch TFT display can be an exciting project! Below is a high-level overview of how to set up your project, including the necessary components, libraries, and a basic example of how to structure your code.
Here to used the ESP32 board based 3.5inch touch display ILI9488 using the LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library) and Bodmer's TFT_eSPI arduino Library. The LVGL is a popular free and open-source embedded graphics library to create UIs for arduino.
In this Setting up LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library) on an ESP32 with a TFT LCD touchscreen display ILI9488 is a great way to create interactive user interfaces for your projects. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started
Components Required
ESP-32 Module (38Pin)
3.5 inch TFT ILI9488 SPI Interface Module 480x320 with Touch Screen Display
10k Potentiometer -2nos
Jumper Wires
Circuit Diagram
3.5inch TFT display
TFT refer blog:
In the VCC pin, you can either use 5V or 3.3V depending upon if your J1 connection is open or closed,
J1 = open=5V; J1=close=3.3V.

Hardware Requirements
ESP32 Board: Any variant should work, but make sure it has enough GPIO pins.
TFT LCD Touchscreen: Common models include ILI9488
Connecting Wires: Jumper wires for connections.
Breadboard (optional): For easier connections.
Software Requirements
Arduino IDE: Make sure you have the latest version.
Select “File>Preferences>settings>Additional Boards Manager URLs” to fill the link.
Here are the steps to install the ESP32 board in Arduino IDE:
Open the Arduino IDE
Select File and then Preferences
Find the Additional Board Manager URLs field and activate the text box

LVGL Library: Available through the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE.
Touch Driver Library: Depending on your touchscreen (e.g., TFT_eSPI)
Configuring LVGL
LVGL Configuration: You may need to configure LVGL for your specific display and touch screen. Create a lv_conf.h file or modify the existing one in the LVGL library folder:
Set LVGL_DISPLAY_HOR_RES and LVGL_DISPLAY_VER_RES to match your display's resolution.
Configure the display and touch input settings based on your library (e.g., TFT_eSPI settings).
TFT_eSPI Configuration:
A feature rich Arduino IDE compatible graphics and fonts library for 32-bit processors. The library is targeted at 32-bit processors, it has been performance optimised for RP2040, STM32, ESP8266 and ESP32 types, other 32-bit processors may be used but will use the slower generic Arduino interface calls. The library can be loaded using the Arduino IDE's Library Manager. Direct Memory Access (DMA) can be used with the ESP32, RP2040 and STM32 processors with SPI interface displays to improve rendering performance. DMA with a parallel interface (8 and 16-bit) is only supported with the RP2040.
Go to the TFT_eSPI library folder and open the User_Setup.h file to configure the pins according to your wiring.
