Good day Folks! So I have started a Nextion 10.1" display project! "What was I thinking," LOL.
A bit of background on the project;
My eventual goal is to make a full dash including buttons, switches, rotary dials, 7 segment displays and digital main display with the digital gauge cluster.
I have already built the button and switch panel with the 7 segments and have installed the rotary dials. This is all controlled thru SimHub over USB to an Arduino Mega. It is fully working and ready to have the Nextion display added.
With that said lets move on to what is done with the display.
All images are done and layout is finished
The rotary dials will control the 7 segment displays and the Nextion display.
I have found a few tutorials out there but most seem to be slightly older. While some are really well done, the methods are not transferring over very well to the newer displays.
The issues I have are;
1. the predefined roles are not showing up where I need them (i.e. Rotary Gauge, Text or Number)
2. Once loaded, I will run a playback in SimHub but nothing ever moves/receives data
Yes correct port is used.
3. This is persistent regardless if I use Text or Number field in the Nextion editor (SimHub Editor) i.e. rpms, lap times, ect.
Moving forward I would like some help pointing me in the right direction! I would not be doing this if there were any premade 10.1" templates out there but what the hey!! Got try to learn something new!!! Right!?!
Many thanks and feel free to blast me with questions!!
