@thomasherbrig4951 10 месяцев назад

I watched this video recently and based on this I bought such a display. Later I have seen that the Nextion Plug in is depreciated. This is not your fault. I missed this. It was very difficult to bring the Nextion display to life. Uploading to the device worked from the beginning. No problem with this. But there was no communication between Simhub and the Display. After a lot of searching I found the solution. I had to change the baud rate to 115200 instead of 9600 (seems to be the default). Before uploading I had to change the settings of the program in the Nextion Editor to 115200. An in the debug mode I had to send a command bauds=115200 to the device. Then it worked. Just if somebody else has the same issue. Works great although depreciated.

Nice tutorial. One question can we change the idle wallpaper to something else? Like our own logo for example. If so where can we change it?

@SimRacingCorner Год назад

You can, you have you search around in the Nextion editor for the asset and replace it.

@Serubal 3 года назад

I watched your video and see you have the same issue. I recognize if you are shifting, the nextion display shows allways an N between the gears. Are there any idears to eliminat this? Is this specific to ACC?

@SimRacingCorner 3 года назад

This occurs in all titles. In fact also on my Leo Bodnar SLI-M which isn't driven by SimHub. Shifting between gears is passing neutral in between those gears so it's being registered. So it's down to the game output telemetry, not the display fault.

@J273 4 года назад

Sorry this may be a daft question? Do you need simhub running on your pc for this to work or is it run off the SD card on the nextion itself? Thanks

There are links in the description of the parts required. Depends on the screen size changes the cost. It's cheap. You can run multiple Nextion screens at once. So the same as this, with different dash info if you wish.

Yes, you can. The only reason you might want to use an Arduino is if you want to add rev light/shift LEDs to your display. Of course, you'll need to program the Arduino for all this to work. You can find stuff online on this type of configuration.

@@SimRacingCorner I figured it out! so if anyone want to do the same and connect a Arduino to a nextion display then do the following: 1.instead of connecting RX - TX and TX - RX you have to connect RX - RX and TX -TX. 2. use a jumper cable and connect RST to ground. the rest of the steps are all the same.

You're effectively overwriting the onboard flash memory when you upload to the Nextion. So you'll need the original code to rewrite it to the factory state.

No, as the Nextion can not take a direct video feed from the PC, the dashboard is uploaded to and stored on the Nextion memory. Z1 Dashboard just creates a windowed dashboard on your desktop which you can move around or present on another monitor.
