WINSTAR Smart Display modules are built to simplify HMI (Human Machine Interface) development across industrial, medical, and commercial applications. Powered by STMicroelectronics' STM32 microcontrollers, our Smart Displays are fully compatible with TouchGFX, STM32CubeIDE, STM32CubeMX, and STM32CubeProg—giving developers a familiar and robust software environment.

In addition to ST's ecosystem, WINSTAR also offers a no-code GUI Builder tool, empowering engineers of all levels to rapidly prototype and deploy interface designs with ease.

Two Flexible Development Paths

 

WINSTAR Smart Displays support two development approaches:

1. Using GUI Builder – No Coding Required

 

Our proprietary GUI Builder tool is designed for fast and intuitive HMI development. It allows users to create interfaces using drag-and-drop widgets, set up page logic, and preview real-time display behavior without writing a single line of code.

• Intuitive UI design interface
• Real-time preview with simulation
• Multi-language text, image, animation, QR code, and meter support
• Faster time to market with minimal technical overhead

2. Developing with ST's Software Ecosystem

 

For developers already familiar with STM32, WINSTAR Smart Displays can be fully integrated into ST's native development environment. This path is ideal for users requiring advanced customization, performance tuning, or direct code control.

• TouchGFX – Create rich graphical interfaces optimized for STM32
• STM32CubeIDE – Comprehensive code development, debugging, and project management
• STM32CubeMX – Easy configuration of STM32 peripherals
• STM32CubeProg – Programming, flashing, and debugging STM32 MCUs
