Nextion not working

Post by OE9CBV »

Hi,

I have the mmdvm_dual_hat hotspot on my RPI 3B. With the beta image i can't get the Nextion display to work.
I Copy the tft file to the display and I can see the MMDVM Image on the display. On the Pi-Star i set the port to /dev/ttyAMA0 and the display type to Nextion.

What have i made wrong?

Make sure the TX wire is plugged into the RX pin on the board, and the RX wire is plugged into the TX pin on the board.

In the drop down menu, select 'modem' instead of the ttyAMA0 as the hotspot is setup in firmware as a serial repeater and that should get you going along with the previous suggestion for tx/rx Image
