Hi, I'm using a nextion nx8048p070-011c with an arduino giga r1. I have included the nextion library and i'm having this error message: SoftSerial.h: No such file or directory
Looks like I have to configure the Nexconfig.h file in the nextion library. I don't really understand what to do!! I want to use TX1,RX1 on pin 18 and 19.
Does someone can help me? Thanks a lot.
I really want to use the library since I want to send and receive data ! Other options?
Read the pinned post re 'How to get the most from this forum'
That part number is for a 7" intellegent series Nextion. I believe that unlike other Nextions, there is a 5v instead of 3.3v serial interface. The giga R1 i/o is 3.3v and is not 5v tolerant.
Do you have any other Arduino you can use?
SoftSerial.h
Because the GigaR1 has multiple hardware uarts, the Arduino platform does not support Software Serial on that device.
I have included the nextion library
What specific library? The ITEAD Nextion.h has a poor reputation and you will not find many people to support you with it on this site.
Far more help will be available is you use the methods of Perry Bebbington

In summary, you have an Arduino which is poorly matched to your Nextion and are using a library with many known problems.
