Nextion-Arduino Data Connection Problem- Tried Everything

Hi all,

I have a T028_11 320x240 px Nextion LCD resistive touch screen. The display works fine on Arduino but:

-I can't send data from Nextion to Arrduino, even though:

-I have connected all the necessary cables correctly.(checked like 100 times)

  • Arduino Ide compiles ok and also uploads the code to the Arduino without any problem.
    -I plug out the RX cable and then plug back in.

How do You do, what code, when You try to send data from the Nexion to thje Arduino?
Attach wiring diagram. Also attach the Arduino code, and use code tags!
It's possible to compile just any code and download, but it will not work.

Support for Nextion on these fora is pretty much as follows:
You can follow the methods I set out in using Nextion displays with Arduino. My methods do not use the Nextion libraries, so while I am happy to offer help on using my methods I cannot offer anything very helpful for any Nextion library.
The original Nextion libraries are full of bugs. There is a link from my tutorial to some improved Nextion libraries created by Ray Livingston, I suggest those might be worth trying if you prefer to use a library.
There's also Seithan who has also developed his own ways of dealing with Nextion displays, you can find his methods in his tutorial on how to write code with Nextion and Arduino.
Beyond that the odd person occasionally offers a bit of help but not much.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Please read the post at the start of any forum , entitled "How to use this Forum".

Then look down to item #7 about how to post your code.
It will be formatted in a scrolling window that makes it easier to read.
