We’re thrilled to announce that developers can now create stunning user interfaces for reTerminal E Series ESP32-based ePaper displays using EEZ Studio, a FREE open-source low-code GUI design platform! This integration brings professional visual design capabilities to your fingertips, making it easier than ever to build custom interfaces for your embedded projects.
What is GUI and Why It Matters
GUI (Graphical User Interface) is the visual layer that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical elements like buttons, menus, icons, and displays. In embedded systems and IoT projects, a well-designed GUI is crucial for creating intuitive, user-friendly experiences that can make or break your product’s success. Traditional GUI development for embedded devices often requires extensive manual coding, deep knowledge of graphics libraries, and significant time investment – until now.
Effortless Visual Design with Drag-and-Drop Simplicity
Gone are the days of manually coding complex user interfaces from scratch. With EEZ Studio’s intuitive editor, you can now design professional-looking UIs using simple drag-and-drop components like panels, labels, images, and interactive elements using LVGL. The platform offers comprehensive styling tools including custom fonts, colors, bitmaps, and themes, allowing you to create visually appealing interfaces that perfectly match your project requirements. Once your design is complete, EEZ Studio automatically generates the necessary code files that can be directly deployed to your reTerminal E device using the Arduino IDE.
Perfect Match for Long-Lasting, Always-On Applications
The combination of EEZ Studio’s efficient code generation and reTerminal E Series’ ultra-low power consumption creates an ideal solution for always-on display applications. Whether you’re building smart home dashboards, industrial HMI panels, or digital signage, the reTerminal E1001 (7.5″ monochrome) and reTerminal E1002 (7.3″ full color) offer up to 3-month battery life while displaying crisp, sunlight-readable content. These two ESP32-S3 powered E Ink® devices provide excellent connectivity options and processing power to handle your custom interfaces seamlessly.
ICYDK: reTerminal E is a series of ePaper displays for human-machine interfaces for smart spaces. This ready-to-use device features a durable metal enclosure housing an ESP32-S3 based ePaper display, integrated buttons, buzzer, and microphone – all sustained by a 2000mAh battery offering up to 3 months of operation. Supporting multiple development platforms, including SenseCraft HMI, TRMNL, ESP-Home/Home Assistant, Arduino/PlatformIO, SquareLine Vision, and EEZ Studio, it caters to diverse development preferences for dashboard GUI creation and deployment. Currently, there are two models in this series: reTerminal E1001 7.5’’ Monochrome ePaper Display and reTerminal E1002 7.3’’ Full Color ePaper Display. You can learn more about reTerminal E here.
