Ever felt like your PC or AI assistant needed a bit more... personality? In this video, I’ll show you how I turned the tiny ESP32-C6-Geek into a reactive, emotional desktop companion using my new open-source library: LVGL Kawaii Face.

I’ve released the LVGL Kawaii Face component for LVGL 9. It features:
17+ Expressions: From 'Excited' and 'Blushing' to 'Sleepy' and 'Working Hard'.
Procedural Animation: No heavy GIF files—everything is calculated in real-time for fluid motion.

Software: LVGL 9.5, ESP-IDF 5.5
