I have reinstalled the driver (twice) and screen is ok but on the bottom IP box it shows Nextion waiting for data.
Also I see when in standby, the screen flickers.
Also, the Reboot & Power OFF buttons are non responsive. (Links ok)
Otherwise, the hotspot Rasp 3 is working and pistar on pc screen works perfectly.
