Microbrowser for Microcontroller

WIP, does not work for now.

Status

• litehtml is now able to compile on ESP32 and Arduino
• Inkplate on Arduino is working
• Currently implementing litehtml document_container to use Inkplate rendering to draw onto the display from the output of the HTML container_esp32_inkplate

About this project

A Microbrowser that is able to render HTML5 and CSS3 on a Microcontroller (ESP32). No Javascript support for now.

Recently I just received my Inkplate 6 from CrowdSupply, an E-paper powered by ESP32 and wanted to browse my website from my Inkplate.

How does it work?

• litehtml for rendering the HTML
• Inkplate library for rendering the text and graphics onto the E-paper
• (Future) LGVL - Light and Versatile Graphics Library https://lvgl.io/

Getting Started

Requirement

• Docker

Compiling and Uploading to your Inkplate ESP32

git clone https://github.com/leopck/microbrowser/
docker run -it --rm --privileged -v /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 -v $PWD/microbrowser/:/go/microbrowser arduino-cli

Compile only

git clone https://github.com/leopck/microbrowser/
docker run -it --rm --privileged -v /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 -v $PWD/microbrowser/:/go/microbrowser arduino-cli make compile
