Custom UI for 3.5B screen

[mamoru-miyagawa]

Hi! I just received my Waveshare 3.5B screen and flashed the controller into it, it is a great piece of software and got me itching to tinker a bit.

I like the original UI but wanted to know if I could bend it a bit and "created" one that is closer to a Multi Fx thing.

It is technically a stepped down reskin since I did removed some elements like the skins (that for how I use are not that critical).

It still needs polishing as the effect chain doesn't reorganize based on pre/post effects and the next and prev buttons are not recognized 😅

But it was a very fun start of a project with some AI assistance to figure out how to build/flash stuff.

I plan to keep improving and to reskin the rest of the UI, but for now it is only the main screen.

Feel free to leave feedback, this is very WIP yet and I had a lot of fun so I might make other UIs just because ❤️

Hi. That looks really nice. I'm very glad that the project is inspiring people to learn new skills and have fun with embedded projects.

I am working on a more modern looking version, still focusing on the signal chain.
I tried using Arcs instead of sliders on the settings (to give that knob vibe) but they might get too heavy to handle :(

The new version is looking like this, way more streamlined, bigger contrast on colors
Easier to see Name and Preset number.

• I have no idea what the banks are for (are the for the Valeton or ToneX pedal?)
• The interface freezes sometimes, I need to check that out (as it didn't froze before)
• I am using a quite heavy font because of the japanese characters, I might just remove those and add in images at this point

The bank display is for using with footswitches. You can do bank up/down to access higher presets, and the number shows you which bank is selected.
The design looks nice. I like the large font. I assume you are using EEZ Studio?

[mamoru-miyagawa]

Yeah using Eez for the layout, Affinity for the assets and creating the icons and Claude to solve issues and build.

So I might asd the Bank info under the preset number 🧐

I am still working on the settings, hope it works nicely!

If everything turns out nice I might share the project so prople can pick it up as well! Although I don't own a GP5 so the layout currently is for the tonex one only

You could do a Github fork if you wanted to. It would allow others to use it, and easier to keep in sync with my changes.
