DIY ESP32 Round Digital Dash Part 2: Customizing the Frontend/Gauges (ESP32 + LVGL)

Описание: In this video, I walk through coding the front-end UI for a DIY digital car dashboard using ESP32 and LVGL. This project focuses on designing and implementing a clean, responsive gauge layout for round digital displays, similar to modern OEM and motorsport dashboards.

I cover how the UI is structured in LVGL, how the gauges are rendered, and how to get all this working on an esp32 display. This is strictly the front-end / UI side — no CAN decoding or vehicle integration yet but that will be next.

If you’re interested in embedded UI design, LVGL, or building your own custom digital dash, this should give you a solid starting point.

🔧 Tech used:

ESP32

LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library)

Round TFT displays

Custom gauge UI design

This is part of a larger DIY digital dash project, so more updates are coming.
