Nextion LCDs... How to comunicate ???

[WMakoto]

Hello Ioannis, thank you for the feedback.
I did not find examples for PBP on the internet. In the manual there are only examples for uses with Arduino and RaspBerry Pi.
I could not convert the command used in Arduino to be used in PBP.
My question is about the serial command format to use.

Thank you for any help.

From what I can gather it uses a serial connection - so have a look at serial examples for PBP and then adapt them to send the instructions to the device. There is an example here http://support.iteadstudio.com/suppo...cs/11000012477 where someone is using an arduino without any library files, which may help

You should be able to used hserout command with a PIC that has a UART serial port (most do)

I also ordered a module, waiting for delivery. Meanwhile, I've downloaded their IDE. Looks like Visual Studio, but so far, I have not managed, how to put my own text on label Very alogical design...

Mike's tutorial on Nuts n Volts is good starting point.

Also the tutorials on YouTube are very helpful. There are many that take you step by step.

It will be a 7 Part series, next issue: Communication between the Nextion and a PIC (using PBP3)

Great. I've quit reading N&V a decade ago - too many ads and too many nonsense articles, hope they've changed that....

Can't figure out, how to make textbox background transparent - when I set it to "image" it gives error during compile...
