Tutorial for adding a new symbol

How-to
1

I wrote a tutorial on adding a new symbol. It’s posted on my website.

The LVGL docs provide instructions for adding a symbol. However, I’m new to LVGL, and following the instructions required additional investigation. I recorded my investigation notes, and added some prose to make them more readable.

Any feedback is most appreciated, especially problems and corrections.

Cool that you went through all this work… but… For your use case it would have been much easier to simply create an empty lv_obj_t and set a border around it and change the background opacity to zero.

kdschlosser, Thanks, interesting alternative.

FYI, I needed several symbols, and just focused on the open square, to keep the tutorial simple.
