Description
I have adapted the lv_demo_printer() example and it is called from and Arduino.ino file. In this I have created a task that runs every 10 seconds and should update the gui based on incoming sensor readings.
The problem is that when I update a variable value in the main arduino loop, when the task is ran by lv_task_gandler() it only reverences varables which are in the lv_demo_printer.c file and does not take te updated value from the Arduino.ino file.
What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?
ESP32 ILI9488
What LVGL version are you using?
7.8
What do you want to achieve?
access values updated from arduino loop into lv_demo_printer.c to change GUI items.
so if you look at the code below and you called the lv_printer_example from lv_examples, how would you use the globalCounter value to determine GUI changes. This probably c 101 but I am stick so please help!
What have you tried so far?
using extern in the lv_demo_printer.c file but when I call the variable values the updated value is not used.
I have created a task within lv_demo_printer, which runs, but when It tries to take the value set in the loop it does not pick up the value.
Code to reproduce
Add a code snippet which can run in the simulator. It should contain only the relevant code that compiles without errors when separated from your main code base.
The code block(s) should be formatted like:

#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
#include <lv_examples.h>
// #include <lv_demo_printer.c>
