Upgrade 4.0 to 4.1

Post by oz1cbk »

Hi.
Do I have to install ON7LDS Nextion driver when use 4.x.x RCx ?
I use new image for 4.1.0.RC2
I think it worked on 4.0.0 RC4, but not on 4.1.0 RC2
Some of the fields are empty now in 4.1.0.RC2

And I still have to copy the Wifi file to the SD card ? :) (just to be shure)

Backup the config, write the new card, drop the config on the "boot" volume that shows up, it will configure it's self on boot up :)
Simple...

Nextion driver is not loaded on Pi-Star out of the box, I dont think I ever included it - although I might start to at some point.

Thanks Andy.
I use the config manual after it was coming up. And I use Wifi file in the start (the old way)

I think I will try the new way, just to se if that works :D

From GitHub:
log in to your Pi-Star with SSH
or go to your dashboard -> configuration -> expert -> SSH access
go to the /tmp directory
cd /tmp
get the software
git clone https://github.com/on7lds/NextionDriverInstaller.git
go !
sudo NextionDriverInstaller/install.sh

And it works also :D I don't think Pi-Star is getting much easier to install.

THANK YOU ANDY FOR EXELENT WORK.
