UI Design
See https://docs.squareline.io/docs/squareline

Code Generation
When you finished the UI design and want to see how it looks on your device you have to export the UI files. Before you do that you should choose Export > Create Template Project. Here you navigate to a directory where you want the VScode project folder to be created. Whenever you make changes to the UI you can then generate the code into the same folder by selecting Export > Export UI Files.

Compilation
After the export finished open the export folder in VScode and wait a few seconds until platformIO has configured the project. Then choose Switch Project Environment from the list in the status bar according to your device and hit the build button next to it. Depending on what fonts or widgets you have used in the UI project you may need to enable these in LV_conf.h.

Upload to Device
Connect the device to your computer and hit the upload button. To see the debug log messages hit the Serial Monitor button in the status bar.
