This is a great little display that I purchased to do some research before splashing out on one of the bigger screen sizes. I'm going to use this one for my woodworking box joint jig. A stepper motor connected to an Arduino and this screen for user input should work out really nicely. I can see myself getting a few of these. Offloading display responsibility to the actual display makes things so much easier to do. At first I couldn't get the screen to read from the micro sd card but then realised that I needed to format it as FAT not FAT32. This version needs an external power supply. I tried to use it on a powered usb hub and my Mac freaked out and disconnected all other usb devices and complained that "something" was drawing too much power. Luckily I have a 12V power supply for my project and I just picked up a "DC 12V 24V to DC 5V 10A 50W Regulator Step Down Module". Originally I was concerned about how good or bad the touch screen was but I shouldn't have worried about it at all. Works perfectly. Good product at a good price. Took a week from ordering ("UK" warehouse) to be delivered. If you want to run the Nextion editor under Linux / OS X then after you've installed wine, install mono: ie sudo apt-get install mono-complete libmono-corlib4.5-cil then use winetricks to install dotnet fixes and service pack 1 ie: winetricks dotnet35 dotnet35sp1 Then run the Nextion setup exe and it should all work. The only glitch i've found is that it always starts up in full screen mode.

Q: is it inbuilt with esp8266 ? please give answer in english

Asked by gorityalapramod on 2019-10-27 04:16:50

FuzzyCat This display does *not* have an ESP8266. Peter Scargill is building a carrier board so that you can mount an ESP8266 on the back of the display. Not allowed to add linkshere so just google "Nextion displays - making them look great"
