Nextion Display and Pi-Star 4.1.4 issues
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2021 2:00 pm
Hello,
I am having trouble with my Nextion Display not working after updating to Pi-Star 4.1.4 and could use some help. As long as I don’t select Nextion as my MMDVM Display my hotspot functions. Once I select Nextion as my display type the hotspot stops transmitting or receiving.
I installed the latest image of Pi-Star 4.1.4 on to a new Micro SD card. I first used SD Card Formatter to make sure it was clean then belenaEtcher to create the image. Went through all the configurations found that the Nextion driver was not installed. I installed the driver and selected Nextion display, port: /dev/ttyNextionDriver and Nextion Layout: ON7LDS L3 as I had been using prior to 4.1.4 and nothing, I could not connect by RF and nothing was showing in Gateway Activity either. I unselected the Nextion display and activity started for both RF and Gateway but nothing on the Nextion display. I then went to expert commands and compared my old configuration to the new and fond that under NextionDriver the port on the old had changed from modem to /dev/ttyAMA0 on the new. I changed that back and now my hotspot sends and receives RF and Gateway but nothing is showing on my Nextion screen.
For the Nextion driver I first did a uninstall and then a fresh install. This is the 2nd time I created a new image of 4.1.4
My setup is:
Raspberry Pi Zero W
ZUMSpot-Pi v0.4
Nextion 3.5 NX4832K035 connected to the 4 ZUMSpot headers
Pi-Star 4.1.4
