Hi
After some hours of installing and manually modifying, I'm down to one issue (I hope), that the NextionDriver is not running.
How do I start this (autostart at boot)?

RPi3B+ pi-star 4.1.2 Nextion 2.4 USB connected.
Jumbo 1.4.16

Some more details:

sudo NextionDriverInstaller/check_installation.sh

Trying to get this working:

But no success

Thanks for responding.
It is a completely new setup. After doing the initial setup and checking that YSF was working, I did run the procedure as described with git clone and install.sh, and after that i also did that check of the installation. After the first check, then MMDVMHost was not configured for NextionDriver, so I have to enter this manually in the INI file. Second issue was the NextionDriver was not running so I have tried to start it manually, and also enter all that stuff manually from the linked page.
So I guess the Nextion driver install procedure failed somehow in my installation. Did not see any errors though during installation.

The display have been updated and layout downloaded without any issue using the same USB to TTL stick as I use om the RPi.
The ON7LDS start page is displayed after RPi boot up.

setup the hotspot to work with the basic Nextion fields

So should I be able to get the display working without the driver installed?

So started all over on another SD card, and without install the driver. The display works now
One issue I also had before was that the USB option was not present before installation of the NextionDriver. Then it appeared.

And now after installing the NextionDriver and afterwards checking the installation, I have exactly same problem.
- MMDVMHost is NOT configured for NextionDriver
- NextionDriver is NOT running

Display however still works with my first setup as Nextion and USB0, so???
