Project Description:
*****
In this video, I show you how to build a real-time IMU dashboard using ESP32-S3, LVGL, and SquareLine Studio on a parallel TFT display.
This is not an SPI display.
This is a high-speed parallel TFT powered by the Makerfabs MaTouch ESP32-S3 3.16" ST7701S development board; and the performance is incredibly smooth.
If you are working with:
ESP32 S3 projects
LVGL UI design
SquareLine Studio tutorial
IMU dashboard
MPU6050 alternative
ESP32 TFT display projects
Real-time sensor monitoring
Embedded GUI design
Then this video is for you.
Instead of wiring an Arduino with multiple modules like MPU6050, TFT display, SD card, RTC, and external sensors, this board gives you everything in one compact system:
• ESP32-S3 with WiFi and Bluetooth
• Parallel 3.16” TFT Display (ST7701S)
• IMU (Accelerometer + Gyroscope)
• Microphone and Speaker
• RTC chip
• Temperature sensor
• Micro SD slot
• Battery charging circuit
And the best part?
We design the entire UI visually using SquareLine Studio with LVGL, without writing UI code manually.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I explain:
Arduino IDE setup for ESP32-S3
Installing LVGL library
Installing QMI8658 IMU library
Using Arduino_GFX_Library
SquareLine Studio project settings
Exporting UI files
Fixing LV_COLOR_16_SWAP issue
ESP32-S3 board configuration
Flash and PSRAM settings
Real-time accelerometer and gyroscope display
Orientation detection (FLAT, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN)
Smooth graphics performance
You will learn how to create a professional embedded dashboard that updates in real time without lag.
