Yes, when you use a USB/TTL adapter hooked to the screen, somewhere out there I saw a python script but I've never actually tried it.


I did hear about this also but I was unable to find it.


I saw one person recommend one of these:

Just finished a duplex hotspot build. RPi4, MMDVM_HS_Dual HAT with 3.5" Nextion enhanced screen (wired to HAT board) in a C4Labs NSX case.
This is my first hotspot and am new to hotspots, Pi-Star and the RPi. After a week of frustration, I finally have the Nextion screen working. (Thanks to KE7FNS ...

That did the trick! Wow, so simple! :oops:
So, it looks like the default port setting on the config page after loading PiStar 4.1.2 is /dev/ttyAMA0. If that is not manually changed to 'modem' it will screech the entire NextionDriver install! I may have just missed it, but I have been reading posts ...

Yes, well that was a typo. My HAT fw is 1.4.17. I corrected it in the prior post.

Ok, then I am going to try to start it over again from scratch hopefully one last time.

Thanks again for all the your time and effort. Much appreciated. I'll keep you posted!

AhhHa and I thought that was a typo without the /modem!

I can easily change that but it sounds like I may need to start over again.

I listed my stuff in my first post.

RPi4 v4.1.2
SHIM fan
MMDVM HS_DUAL HAT v1.3 fw v 1.4.17

Are you SURE you don't see the added parameters, did you reboot? They are in a section named [NextionDriver] and [Transparent Data], in fact if you have the [NextionDriver] section then the installer worked and added the sections.

Yes, all the sections are present but still can't find ...

Did this issue ever get answered or solved?
This was also one of the functions I was seeking for my decision to go with a duplex board.

Ok, started again all over from fresh format SD and Pistar v4.1.2. No updates. I did see some problems during install. Although it says the driver is installed I still don't see all the components in Expert mode.

I don't know how you post the fancy screenshots that you can scroll? Very nice. But ...

Thank you for the response. I read the post you referenced and that appears to be a similar issue I am experiencing here. The NextionDriver seems to patially load but is broken. I have followed the exact procedure outlined there now at least 6 times. I went back and reformated my Pi-Star SD card and ...
