Hi, i am spending a lot of time trying to solve what I would have thought would be an easy thing to do. I have a string or text value in nextion. Lets say its "12.4". I want to change the graphic if that value changes to "12.6". I have tried to convert to a number and multiply by 10 to get 126 or 124 but no luck. It seems to drop the ".6" or ".4". I must be trying to do something that there is a better way to solve. Any ideas? got a video on this? btw, i am trying to solve this using the script in nextion. perhaps I should be trying to use the esp32 to send the decimal or number to nextion and acting on the incoming information.
found a solution. I multiplied the value by 1000 so 12.3 became 12300. then used the float field and set the ws0 to 2 and the ws1 to 3. so, in the field 12.3 displays as 12.300 which is fine with me. but in my conditions statement, i have to compare the values using the value multiplied by 1000. for example if(x0.val>12200&&x0.val<=12300) hope that helps someone. took a hours to figure it out.
Does anyone know why I don't get the option "USER MCU INPUT"? And how can I solve it?
I want to write a text, and save that text, such as Name: jsuendjdj I want to save what I put in Name

What does Serial Pin 2 and 3 connect to from the Uno? I have an FTDI adapter on the way and I don’t want to screw it up. My setup is an Uno with the usb connection to a headless pi 4.. I’m attempting to catch what the pi sent over, in a separate serial monitor so I can debug my programming. I know the pi is sending the right byte array but I don’t know what’s happening on the uno end when it’s read
there is a cable that can be used to connect the raspberry pi usb or serial to the rs232 using rj45 connector?
what?

Hello Mark, I need help. I want to print multiple commands from Nextion to my ESP8266 but it does not work as I want. This is what I want printed. print "#ACTIVE MONDAY;" activeDay.txt="MONDAY" print "#PAG SCHEDULE_1;" each command is space-separated #Command Value; I have a function that parses it in my code, and everything works until I try to print multiple commands like above. Then I get this in my code: "Command: ACTIVE - Value: MONDAY;#PAG SCHEDULE_1" instead of "Command: ACTIVE - Value: MONDAY" AND "Command: PAG - Value: SCHEDULE_1" This is my code void Display::listen(){ if(Serial.available()){ String dfd = ""; delay(30); while (Serial.available()){ dfd+= char(Serial.read()); } if (dfd.startsWith("#") && dfd.endsWith(";")) { dfd = dfd.substring(1, dfd.length() - 1); // Remove the # and ; // Extract two space-separated strings COMMAND AND VALUE // 1) GET COMMAND String command = dfd.substring(0, dfd.indexOf(" ")); // 2) GET VALUE String value = dfd.substring(dfd.indexOf(" ") + 1); Serial.print("Command: " + command + " Value: " + value+"----"); Serial.print(NEXTION_END_STRING); // 2) Execute command handleCommand(get_command(command), value); } } }

That is the absolute 1st time anyone explained what a radian is so succinctly. I only understood radians by comparing to degrees before this. Thank you and kudos to you!

Hi , My project has 4 page . I want to use chronometer, but timer is working just one page, other pages are undependent, do you have any idea about this siituation?
You could try setting up global variables on the pages that are not displayed and copy the timer function to each page. then you could update the other pages so when you go back they are showing what you expect. I am not sure this is what you are looking for but it is something to try.
Hook up the page change to the release event of the object and there is no problem.
That is a great observation.
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! I was able to get a 12v DC motor working with my L298N motor driver/Arduino because of this video! It’s so cool. THANK YOU 😊

That is too bad. I thought it did.
i have timer with this screen but i want to make password if nobody touch screen within one minute
There are a few ways to do this. One would be to have the timer change to another page if it times out. That page could require a passcode to return.

I am making progress in understanding how to program the ESP32 and the Nextion. It is slow but I am making progress in a determined way. Now I cannot find any videos of sending a signal from the Arduino to different pages on the Nextion. If I comment out page 1 on IDE then there is no problem in getting the boxes populated from the Arduino to page 2 on the Nextion. Also when moving from page 1 to page 2, data from the Arduino is deleted on page 1. Have you experienced this or is it jut a feature of the Nextion? I currently have 6 numbers boxes that are populated from EEprom in the Nextion but can be updated and saved back to EEprom. I do like to see the same data coming back from the Arduino sitting in a column of number boxes alongside. To complete the project I am working on I need to have a second page of both number boxes and text boxes. At the moment I am stumped. Can you help? John
You have to set the box to global. Try this video ua-cam.com/video/jXpgeZ7cmRo/v-deo.html
@@CheapControls Thanks for the reply.. I had found that I had not noted them as Global myself. I am rapidly learning now and the latest stumbling block was to get some simple division to work. I discovered there is no such thing with Arduino and Nextion! I spent ages figuring out for myself how float values v int v long v string worked and by using numbers rather than cell references I eventually got it to work by trial and error, subsituting cell references for actual numbers and gradually it all worked. Thanks again for the various tutorials. John
Acho sacanagem a versão enhanced não ter combobox e recursos de listagem arquivos. É tudo interface gráfica. acredito que isto esteja limitado não por causa do processador GPU mas pelo software para nos obrigar a comprar a versão inteligency. Não se consegue plotar nada de diferente ou fazer melhorais na interface somente o que o software de componente proporciona. Se eu tivesse sabido disto antes não teria comprado o NEXTION e sim investido em outro melhor que possa usar recursos da LVGL. Vivendo e aprendendo. Ao menos serve para fazer coisas rápidas.
I agree that the Nextion is not the best for everything.
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!

1)Why nextion display reseting value after power cut, what is the solution for this? 2)why esp32 can not read nextion values of the display during changing the page?
You can try storing values in the eeprom and then restore them on a page load. 2) I am not sure why the esp32 can not read the nextion values during a change of pages.
Thanks very much for the video, I am running the nextion in debug connected to my ESP32, I am getting a parse error on the simulator return... The MCU return is in the form: HEX(77 65 70 6F 20 32 34 2C 33 31 38 FF FF FF) STR(wepo 24,318ÿÿÿ) does the data from the MCU look correct?
All good! For some reason wasn't working in the debug window but when I plugged in the display it worked fine! Do you know if there is any way to plot a whole array of data at once rather then sending one data point at a time?
I am glad you got it.
"Dont fall asleep" that was funny. Once again clean and concise. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed
Because of this tutorial. I'm becoming more smarter. Thank you for the clear and concise explanation.
Great to hear!
Your excellent videos are what made me confident that I should be able to set up a Nextion tft with Esp32 demos d1 board. I have had no problem in placing buttons and getting them to interact as required. However I seem to be a bit stumped in getting anything to go from the Esp32 to the Nextion or vice versa. I have set up the code with 2 serial ports and so far have no errors compiling. I definitely do not have a hardware problem as I have duplicates of everything. I can compile the respective codes and download to both the Nextion and the Esp32. In going through your code in this #137 video, I have a problem with.... prints "val".0. which throws up an error code... Invalid number of arguments. If I enter prints n0.val.0 I I get 2 errors....Invalid number of arguments. I have tried going to your site and downloading and copy of your code to try but the link is not working. In you tutorial 59 you said that you couldn't get prints working. Have I missed something somwhere? Finally I have a wretched error message says invalid variables page. Actually I dont have one as I deleted it! so have no way of getting error free code. Can you help please. John
I have managed to sort this out. The.. prints."val".0 only works if you put the number of characters that the val is. i.e. ...prints"val".3 The prints n0.val,0 that gave me errors works but with .....prints n0.val,0 ...I managed to get rid of the other error message about variables by using an erilier version f the file and updating it. Incidentally in hex when checking the data going out to the ESP I saw that if you use values of less than 10 you can see the figures rather than the hex figures so it is easy to se if it is working correctly. I also had a good look at the Nextion instruction set to check for the correct way of writing the code. John
I am glad to hear you figured it out and I will take your other comments into consideration. I have not been able to work on the displays recently but I hope to get back into them soon.
you saved a heck of time

Maybee I'm stupid but howto connect the Nextion against the Arduino sry I'm a newbie 57years old
It depends on the Arduino. I use the Nano in most of my tutorials, but it would be the same for the Uno. I use a library called software serial and define two pins( usually 2 and 3) as a software serial port. I use those pins to connect to the transmit and receive on the the Nextion. Using an additional serial port allows you to keep the arduino connected to the IDE and use the serial monitor for trouble shooting.
You are only a couple of years older then me. Never to old to learn something new.
