Bug with TouchGFX designer and nucleo-G071RB + GFX01M2

[nbenm]

When I create a gauge with this configuration, it works fine in the simulator, but on the device the needle is not visible.

Arcs work fine, and gauge is correctly displayed. Needle is not.

I have tried with STM32F746G-DISCO: it works fine.

It's only with nucleo-G071RB + GFX01M2.

My environment:

- nucleo-G071RB board

- X-NUCLEO-GFX01M2 espansion board (XNGFX01M2$AZ1)

Hello @nbenm ,

Unfortunately, G071RB is not graphically strong enough to handle Texture Mapper animations. That's why the needle is not shown, it is not a bug.
Good luck, don't hesitate to ask more questions

Thanks for your answer.

I have the same issue with a STM32F411RE board.

Is it the same reason?

[Mohammad MORADI ESFAHANIASL]

You're very welcome.
Yes, if you want such animations you should consider a board from H7 or F7 family

There is a video of a ST engineer using the gauge widget for reading voltage and temperature. Is that fake? I bought the same board thinking of something similar to this. STM32 Graphics: Getting Started with the Gauge Widget, Part 1  Here is the video.

"Is that fake?"

Probably not as in part 2 video the code runs on the board.

I will buy the board as well - I wonder what can be achieved with such a tiny MCU.

I know I've been trying to replicate the steps of the video but no luck, just a blank screen, no errors in the code.

Aha, that's no good.

Maybe zip the project and ask in a new thread for help. Might be a problem with your board.

[Abucio24]

Yes, I'll do that. I have found that for this displays there is not a lot of information, and if there's any is really old, and they have changed the software a bit since then.
