I really enjoy your projects. I had to input the code for one of them since you didn't upload it. These are simple to follow and your voice is clear and pleasant. I hadn't touched arduino since doing a drone and this has me hooked again. Thanks so much for what you do for all of us. You're #1

@darren7650 6 лет назад

I've been looking for a display to use and came across your tutorials. Wow! It takes a tremendous amount of time to code these things, I know, I've stumbled through many projects and it just takes time. So...THANK YOU! I will be ordering one of these displays and get to work on it. I want to use a laser distance finder to read data, input that to the Arduino and display it onto another 7-segment display, but....I will be using the display as a touch-screen interface to enter calibration data, etc. Your work here just saved me countless hours!!

@interlinkknight 6 лет назад

Great. It's nice to see that I helped. Good luck with your project. If you make a video about your project, post the link in here.

@davethedaemon9024 6 лет назад

Thanks for all your videos on these Nextion displays. You were the first to let me know these smart displays existed in one of your older videos. I'm definitely getting one to play with in the near future. One of my displays is very slow (via the I2C bus) because it requires you to read/write 16 bits at a time even if you're updating just one pixel. I couldn't find a library to run it, so I wrote my own library with a 1K write through cache to speed things up (admittedly it was fun to write). But it uses up quite a bit of memory and cpu. It works great now but I can only use it with my Mega2560 due to the memory requirements. These smart Nextion displays reduce the amount of I/O dramatically so it looks like an 8-Mhz arduino can easily use it with plenty of cpu and ram left over to do other things. Oh - and from your recommendations, I purchased some BusBoard breadboards and they seem to be much better quality than my cheaper ones - just as you said. I also just bought a Jameco WBU-208-R Breadboard. I haven't used it yet so we'll see. Thanks again!

Just a question, is there no easier way than the SD-Card way to transfer the data from Nextion to Arduino? I mean we are in 2018 - maybe usb or so? :-)

@interlinkknight 6 лет назад

I am glad it was useful. You mean if there is another way to transfer the tft file from the computer to the display? You can upload the file using a usb-to-serial adapter, but it's slower so I don't like to use it.

@tamgaming9861 6 лет назад

Yes this was the question. Strange that this is slower :-)

@interlinkknight 6 лет назад

A few months ago I posted on the nextion forum complaining about the terrible RTC included on the enhanced versions of the display, and also complain on the lack of tutorials. A couple of ITEAD representatives reply very negatively. I mentioned my tutorials and they deny/dismiss all the problems that the nextion display has. If you want to contact them (ITEAD) and talk about my videos, be my guest. But as far I am concern, they are very rude and ignorant people (at least the guys in charge of the forum). I will not waste more time with them. Conclusion: I think ITEAD don't care about their users. We are on our own. That's why I am here doing what I can to fill the hole/void they left. If you are curious, here's my post: support.iteadstudio.com/support/discussions/topics/11000015385

Hello! Friend First of all many thanks to share such a fantastic information about this display, though I do not use Arduino still the tutorial was so helpful to understand things related to the display pretty well.I use only PIC microcontroller and Flowcode as the programming software, so find it little difficult to figure out how to start (do not know "C" language) but I am sure your tutorial will surely help me to progress.May I know if you have prepared any tutorial on the Nextion and PIC microcontroller, I will be happy to see that too. Thank you again. Abhi

Hi Thank you for posting up a solid how-to for the nextion display. Been messing about with editor doing a project still havent. Received the display or teensy yet but its the arduino code part i didnt get now its making sense. Question1: on the gauge i still dont fully understand how you get the gauge to read counter-clockwise from the stock 0 position 9oclock. Is that why your code have -360? Your gauge dial starts at 7oclock How do you set the dial? Coz when you add a gauge dial it auto points at 9oclock/ points left side. Question2: is there a way to show a picture as an alert if a specific value is reached, similar to the way you change txt color? Everything else i think i got. Thanks

@interlinkknight 6 лет назад

Thanks for your words. To answer your 1st question, the gauge by default points 9 o'clock that is the 0 value. The value of the gauge is in degrees and starts in the 9 o'clock (0 degrees). As you saw on the video, a value of 90° would be pointing 12 o'clock, for example. A value of 180 would be like 3 o'clock, etc. The -360 in the sketch is a way I use to continue from 359. For example, I can't send a value of 361. Instead of sending 361, I subtract 360 to the 361 to get a valid value of 1. You can hide any object, including images, using the "vis" command like this: Serial.print("vis j0,0"); Serial.write(0xff); Serial.write(0xff); Serial.write(0xff); vis is the command to hide or show an object; j0 is the name of the object; the number 0 after the comma is to hide the object. Instead of the 0 you can put a number 1 to show (reappear) the object. You can see that on my 1st video tutorial. I hope this helps.

InterlinkKnight question on buttons: my project has page0-page8 and 3buttons per page (Home,Next & Back) for each button in project i have just the " Touch Release Event" set to "page Home, page Next, page Back" for each button. When debug it works i can switch between page0-8. Do i still need to setup "touch/ release event " and nextion library in the arduino code aswell for it to work once uploaded to nextion display? or the Touch /release events only needes in arduino code if am goin to use a button like a On/off to controll a led attach to arduino?

@interlinkknight 6 лет назад

Buttons that are to only change pages doesn't need any check event boxes nor any code on the sketch. You don't even need the nextion library on arduino for that. Changing pages is an internal thing inside the display so leave arduino out of it. If you pay attention to my video, my NEXT and BACK buttons don't have any checkbox event enabled. Also, those buttons are not in my sketch anywhere.

Tried several ways, read a lot in other forums, but noboby was able to open the lock. Since I found your videos here on RU-vid. I worked them all through, all of them worked so far, now a tiny problem occured: In Your tutorial #6 you want to get rid of the flickering of the gauge and at minute 15:00 you make an input in the timer you used for the changing of colors: - - - if(z0.val!=va0.val) { z0.val=va0.val } - - - If i do the same and debug, I get the followig errors: - - - Error:Invalid Variables:va0.val( Double click to jump to code) Error:Invalid Variables:va0.val( Double click to jump to code) Error:Compile failed! 2 Errors, 0 Warnings, - - - Well I can live with the flickering, but it would be nice to solve, just to solve and learn ... Any idea? Thank you in advance Freddie

The gauge is also working. The problem is that the LED and the built-in LED does not go to ON state. It is always OFF. I checked the display TX/RX connections and they are OK. I tried another UNO board. But the problem is the same. I tried a different 2.4 Nextion display and the problem is the same. When I debug using the Nextion Editor both LEDs goes ON and OFF.

There are many ways you can handle that. Usually, the LED would stay ON and the toggle switch on the display would reset to the default value once you go to another page, but you can make it a global variable so it can remember the state, no matter in what page it is.

I agree that the editor is not very intuitive, but trust me that after a little practice its not that hard. Everything always look hard at first, but later you see how easy things really are.

@Giblet535 6 лет назад

Oh yes, I can learn anything, but after few decades of software use and design work, one realizes that intuitive software only needs to be learned once, and not every time there's a six-month gap between uses. Have you ever had to re-learn Microsoft Word, or Ubuntu's file browser, just because you didn't use them for a few months? Nextion Editor is one of those that has to be re-learned every time a product update requires a rare UI change. Nextion Editor is like The Gimp image editing software (not that Photoshop is much better). Aurgh!

Oh, you mean HDMI generic monitor or TV? No, no, no. That's a completely different thing. This video is about nextion displays that allow creating a graphic interface and connect to microcontrollers like Arduino. Nextion displays have their own controller so Arduino doesn't have to write everything on the screen. Instead, in the nextion editor you create the images, text, buttons, etc and then communicate with Arduino about the actions and send values and things like that. There are many sizes for the nextion display, but you can't use any generic display for that. If you want a generic display, maybe use a raspberry pi

I've see people making that mistake of installing the nextion library from the arduino IDE "library manager" and later adding another nextion library in their library folder. It causes a mess. All this assuming you are trying to use any of my examples.

Depends, but its around 10 fps for the enhance version

@@interlinkknight a customer of mine wants to have a voltage measurement to be updated around every 300ms. So that is doable right? What would be the limiting factor? The arduino, the screen, the code..?

@interlinkknight 5 лет назад

Yeah, is possible. The limiting factor is the Arduino loop. Use the fastest serial baud rate supported on the display

@mertcapkin7263 5 лет назад

@@interlinkknight alright, thanks! How could I determine how much time the loop takes?

@interlinkknight 5 лет назад

Do you really need to measure the loop time? Just avoid delays on the loop and should be very fast by itself.

The library seems to be busted, or maybe outdated at this point in time. It doesn't compile anymore.

Ok tutorial but screen is too blurry. I can't even read anything in full screen. You are VERY smart and I wish you could write a book for Nextion. I would buy it : )

Good your video. Am fast time you please help sir

@joedempseysr.3376 5 лет назад

Seems to me that you're spending most of your time and effort developing work-arounds to compensate for the poor design and bad behavior of the Nextion development system. I hope their development system is open source. I'd love to refactor the whole thing to take care of all the problems you encountered. Also, your variable names should be descriptive of their use. Never use names like "variable", for example. That said, I appreciate your efforts and your examples serve as a warning as to what to watch out for when programming these Nextion displays.

@interlinkknight 5 лет назад

My examples are tutorials by itself so I want to be very descriptive and clear.

@joedempseysr.3376 5 лет назад

@@interlinkknight Yes, I agree that you were descriptive and clear. I am not critical of you but of the tools that the vendor offers. Now, thanks to you, I will know what to expect when I develop my own applications. Thank you!
