espzav/Multiple-LCD-Demo

Espressif's demo with three LCD displays using LVGL (ESP32-S3)

Supported Targets	ESP32-S3

Multiple LCD Display Example

This example shows handling multiple LCD displays with touch from one MCU. It shows time synchronized with SNTP server and weather synchronized with https://openweathermap.org/. It allows search WiFi networks and connect to selected. It can change the weather place, weather update interval and time zone. All settings are saved into NVS and loaded after each restart.

There is used LVGL as a graphic library.

This example contains the 2048 Game, which was used from https://github.com/100askTeam/lv_lib_100ask.
