Introduction

QuecPython has introduced a GUI solution for a Smart Agriculture Central Control Panel based on the U-235 Development Board. The features include weather forecast, agricultural environmental data monitoring, real-time data display, historical data curves, agricultural equipment control, alarm and fault event notifications, system settings, and more.

The U-235 development board comes with the default onboard EC600U module and an externally connected 5-inch screen with a MIPI interface and a resolution of 854*480. Additionally, it features a variety of sensors and peripheral interfaces onboard. For more details, you can refer to the U-235 EVB User Guide.

The Smart Agriculture Central Control Panel uses LVGL to draw the graphical interface. LVGL is a lightweight, open-source embedded graphics library. QuecPython integrates LVGL and utilizes NXP's GUI Guider as a graphical interface design tool. It can automatically generate QuecPython code, significantly improving the efficiency of graphical interface design on embedded platforms.

Features

• Environmental Data Display: Provides real-time data for various environmental parameters in agriculture.
• Device Status Display: Used to monitor and display the operational status of various devices and sensors.
• System Settings: A crucial part of user configuration and personalization for their agricultural management system.
• Device Control: A crucial component for managing and operating various farm equipment.
• Parameter Settings: Allows users to customize and adjust various environmental and equipment operation parameters.
