I hadn't looked at the README in a while since I usually just git clone and compile on my OSX system and then debugged my code as lvgl_micropython has been building and working well for me. The readme and pulled code is looking VERY nice and everything I have tried just worked. I'd like to thank you @kdschlosser for all this hard work and help.

Recently I got a cheap mini PC with Windows 11, yesterday I updated it and installed WSL2. I then installed Ubuntu 24 and proceeded to install a build chain.

The thing I missed was the Espressif IDE for ESP32 builds.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
$ cd esp-idf
$ ./install.sh

I also compiled for unix and ran the resulting ./lvgl_micropython_unix, loaded up the suggested sample code and voila, a slider.

I am supporting a graphics install on a 7” Esp32 Crowpanel that connects into FluidNC

You don't have to do anything with the ESP-IDF. It is all done for you by the build script.

And TY for the nice comments. It is nice to know that people do appreciate how it just works using a single command to compile. That is the single most important thing about running any flavor of Python, it needs to be easy to use.

Ah, I see my problem, to build ESP32 I needed to "sudo apt install python3-venv".

hello

I Have asked some questions in the past in the lvgl forum, but I think it is the right place. Two years ago I made a calculator project, it runs an old micropython version with an esp32. I have developed a new hardware platform, with an esp32s3, and I want to go to esp-idf 5 and the latest mycropython.
I have several issues, I will ask in the forum, please bear with me.
