Re: No DMR reception on new Zumspot

Jason,
You are a genius. New Zumspot with Nextion screen now working beautifully on DMR and all other modes. Great display. Just went to BM page, set security ON, entered a password, gave this Z a unique sub ID (05) after my CCS7 ID and all working great. Incidently, as a trial, I then deleted the ...

Re: No DMR reception on new Zumspot

Sorry for last post. Just saw other threads regarding lack of DMR reception on Zumspot/Jumbospots. I will review those threads in detail.

No DMR reception on new Zumspot

This is a continuation of the recent Nextion screen thread. New Zumspot pre-assembled with 2.4 inch Nextion screen working fine now in Modem setting with Nextion screen. See recent Nextion screen thread for details. However, the other problem with this unit was DMR. I am using the exact ...

Re: Nextion screen not working

Jason,
Just got home about one hour ago. The instructions in manual for this unit say to set port to /dev/ttyAMA0. However, per your recommendation I set port to Modem. Nextion screen now working fine. Problem seems resolved with this simple change. Still interested in pursuing further knowledge of ...

Re: Nextion screen not working

Jason
Thanks for the kind offer. Am busy now with grandkids and have Downey Amateur Radio Club meeting tonight. Will play with settings again late tonight. Will try in next day or so to contact you on TAC 310 and move off to higher TAC group or direct. My cell phone is 562 805-1363. Don't mind ...

Re: Nextion screen not working

Jason
Yes, I made a mistake in my post, but not in pi-star software. Indeed, it is:
/dev/ttyAMA0 without the slash between tty/AMA0. Started thinking later the same thing. If I'm going to learn this stuff, I should read all the posts on this forum about Nextion screens and do some real studying ...

Re: Nextion screen not working

Toshen,
I believe it is on the GPIO. However, I paid $220 for this unit, and I'm not going to start pulling the case apart. This unit will go back to HRO today.
I already have four working Zumspots and an OpenSpot 1 and 2. Certainly don't need this unit to use any digital modes. Been doing D-Star ...

Re: Nextion screen not working

Very strange behavior. With Zumspot (Z) and Nextion (N) screen, TGs received on dashboard, but no audio to my DMR radios, no receive of DMR from radio to Pi-star, and no info at all on N screen. When use identical configuration (even with same SD card) on Z with OLED screen, all works normally (TGs ...
