Nextion LCDs... How to comunicate ???

[mpgmike]

After you select "crop image" a new box will appear in Attributes called "picc". Click on it, click "browse", then select your background image.

Yes, I got it working, but in a weird way.

Say I have some background picture, which I place on background layer.
Then I have textbox above it. Located at specified place.
I have to crop background picture in editor, in a such way, that it fits the area occupied by textbox.
Then use that cropped picture as textbox background.

There is simply no way to make text background "transparent".

I do not know why it is not working for you.

Please send to me your email and I will reply with the demo file that just work! You can go on and do your mods then.

Since writing that first article I learned something new. Instead of placing a Picture the size of your screen, start with an empty screen. Choose "image" for sta. Then picc, browse, select your background image.

Hi Mike,

Just received the latest Nuts & Volts with your Nextion article, good work. Wish I had this two years ago!

If you like writing articles, B4A is now free and programs much like the Nextion or VB. Probably a lot interest with hobbyist. I've made android apps to communicate with HC-05 Bluetooth modules connected to pic micros.

Mike, the latest issue of Nuts'n'Volts does not have your new article on Nextion displays as promised on article 5.

Was this on error?

They were taking so long to get to the next issue I thought I had plenty of time to get them done. Unfortunately, they decided to get on the ball (well, unfortunately for me) and start cranking out magazines. I got stuck with a cold NE winter and the inability to get the 6th article finished. Warmer weather is rapidly approaching, so I should be back on things to get the next one out (and the last 7th one shortly thereafter). My apologies.
