THANK YOU!!!THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I've looked all over for info on why my screen was missing info in the fields and you nailed it with the the ssh stuff (I thought I was going to brick the hotspot the entire time I was in the session!) I get really intimidated when I haft to type those commands in! This video was perfect straight to the point with no BS!

Thanks very much for this! I've never had a large display on my board. Very well presented!

Thank you very much for your excellent video!! It has been VERY frustrating trying to get my Nextion screen working properly with all data fields populated as they should be. I have a MMDVM_DUPLEX hotspot and my Nextion screen is connected directly to the MMDVM. I wasn't sure your instructions would work as I was not using a USB connection. However, they did indeed work. For the benefit of others with a similar setup as mine I would suggest: 1. Follow the instructions in the video very carefully. Your screen should be working with basic information displayed before you begin the driver installation. 2. Make sure the settings under [Nextion] are exactly the same as shown in the video. I had to change my screen layout to 4. 3. For a hotspot which has the Nextion screen connected directly to the MMDVM board, under the [NextionDriver] section you will need to set your Port to "modem". 4. On the configuration page, make sure you have "Nextion", "/dev/ttyNextionDriver", and "ON7LDS L3 HS" selected. Hope this helps! 73

very well. thanks had a had time setting up my Nextion till your video.

Awesome vid Matt ;)

Very cool! Thank you.

Very cool. Great video

thank you

Yup..👍👍My Type of Meshtastic for the Pro's😊73s

imagine my surprise to see my mate Garry (ZC4GR) callsign popup at the start of this video :)

Where do you get the MMDVM board from as original, I can't seem to find them amongst all these clones online.

I thought I would share something that plagued me. The nextion driver script sudo guesses at the port the nextion is connected to. If you don't do anything, it assumes /dev/ttyAMA0. But you normally connect it to the modem port. So instead of /dev/ttyAMA0, it needs to be modem. Just make sure your screen is working with modem selected under Port. Once it is working, then install the driver, and the nextion driver script will know it's connected to modem.

Great Video btw Which Nextion screen file did you use for this demo?

Just doing this now well I've bought all the stuff now watch this video and see what I have to do

So slick! Sadly RaspberryPi is currently at unicorn status.

ta7esc thank you

Hi Thank you for a nice presentation using the Nextion display in a PiStar setup. Be aware of the Chinese clones - they unfortunately doesn't work. Best regards Bjarke / OZ2BKK

Thanks for the demo, on that last screen with the yellow, I have the similar one for the nx3224T but im not able to get the remains data to work through the modem port, any advice? I cant seem to find any info on why

Hi, where did you get that last layout from? Cheers, Phil G8PJH

If you accidentally delete the HMI file on your computer is there any way of extracting it off the Nextion display?

Never had much luck wit it.

I created a timer on the screen that runs 12 times a day But when I disconnect the power, I have to set the times for the timer again Is there a way to store the timer on the screen even if the power is disconnected?

If the HotSpot already has a small OLED display attached to it and I'm using a USB-UART converter, will the 2 displays conflict or are both able to operate independently? In Pi-Star there is only one possibility for a screen.

I know this might sound too stupid but 😅 how to get free SDRs? The country where I live, here 1 usd = 200 rupees and there a hackRF costs around 100000😅😅
