No.

Why?

Because it is an Arduino, not a Raspberry Pi. :roll_eyes:

are you have source if i use raspberry pi, to connect the microscope camera to the Nextion LCD?

Not sure about the Nextion LCD as such - I haven't worked with them - but there are many displays sold for the Pi and it has the USB host port that you need to connect the microscope.

Seriously, you need to do your research before buying things for a specific purpose. Not so much of a problem if you are only playing around and don't care what happens. :grinning:

Probably the simplest way of using the microscope with a portable mini screen would actually be to get a $70 tablet from Aldi or such with a USB OTG port and plug your microscope into that with an adapter (no shortage of those). There will be some Android application for connecting cameras and even snapping shots and videos (or the camera will maybe just magically appear as a third camera).

Nextion displays have a serial port, not a USB port. They are configured to be used as touch screens for controlling things, not for displaying video. The are completely the wrong thing for what you want to do.

Nextion displays have a serial port, not a USB port.

Which is just as well, since if they had a USB port, they would be quite useless for Arduinox. :roll_eyes:

The point here is that an Arduino cannot handle video, nor can it effectively handle a USB device which is what the USB microscope in consideration here, is. :astonished:

Actually I want to make the LCD be able to display images or video from a microscope camera and there are also some virtual buttons on the LCD screen as a counter,

After I searched for information on the internet, LCD Nextion has a desktop application to be able to create a GUI including a virtual button for the counter.

But apparently, the LCD nextion can not display video.

Then do you have any suggestions on what LCD I should use for the above case?

Not offhand, but you clearly want one which can accept HDMI input from a Raspberry Pi and a touchscreen.

Although I still think using a tablet would be more practical.
