I picked up a 2.4 inch nexion display for Jumbo Spot.
It is wired up and I have loaded the generic NX3224T024-L3.tft file and loaded it in the nexion
The display lights up and shows MMDVM on the screen and nothing else.
I have tried all sorts of settings.
When ever I set the Configuration to /dev/ttyAMAO and Nexion the Jumbo Spot stops receiving my radio transmissions. If I set to /dev/ttyAMAO and OLED all works perfectly.
I have tried all the different Layout settings in Expert for Nexion. No luck
Could someone share the settings they are using with this screen.

Re: 2.4 inch Nexion Display
When my Nextion is wired on my jumbospot I choose "Modem" for the output port instead "/dev/ttyAMAO"
(Now i use USB port, it's more easy !!!, not necessary to open the box)

Re: 2.4 inch Nexion Display
USB? Interesting.
How do I connect via USB?
I guess fabricate a cable that is USB Micro for Pi Zero and to the four pin connector on the display? Is there a specific pin out?
What about settings in pi-star?
73 Thanks W9KJO

Re: 2.4 inch Nexion Display
I believe I have it wired correctly. The power must be correct and it is displaying the mmdvm logo.
I tried swapping the tx and rx just to see, no change. I'll try swapping to another jumbo spot this weekend. made this jumbo spot has a problem on the board.

Re: 2.4 inch Nexion Display
Every time you change your wiring or ouput display port, you must reboot the PI Hotspot...

Re: 2.4 inch Nexion Display
As it turns out the MMDVM hat was loaded with 1.3.4 firmware and would not display any data. I had to roll it back to 1.3.3 for it to display.
That was my cure for now unless someone has better information or which I am not aware.
