Preparation

This section covers the setup steps you should complete before starting the Arduino and LVGL tutorials.

The recommended order is:

1. Download the source code package and firmware files

2. Install the CH343 USB driver so your computer can detect the board

3. Install Arduino IDE and configure ESP32-S3 board support

4. Install the required local libraries from the provided lib/ folder

After completing these steps, you can return to the main tutorial chapters and start uploading examples to the board.

Note

Use a USB Type-C data cable. A charging-only cable can power the board but cannot be used for programming or serial communication.

Note

This kit is shipped pre-flashed and tested. If you want to quickly restore or reflash the LVGL All-In-One demo without installing Arduino IDE, see Online Flasher.
