Nextion Driver PiStar Image V4.2.3 problems..........

Post by oe7abh »

Hello,

unfortunately the Nextion drivers from ON7LDS in the current Pi-Star image (V4.2.3 or V4.2.2) for the USB interface (USB to TTL) are not well implemented, there are a lot of problems!

Maybe missing information at some fields on Iddle page ?
(CPU Speed, Disk free, Temperature...)
Same as reported here:
viewtopic.php?t=4727

Or some other issues?

Since then Pi-Star 4.3.x has working NextionDriver already loaded, and those fields do show.
Some touch commands don't work - we're working on other issues currently, but I'll get to that no doubt.

Hi Andy, can you provide a current Pi-Star image WITHOUT THE NEXTION DRIVER IMPLEMENTED?
I'm installing the Nextion drivers manually. I'd be interested to know if that works?
Thanks!
