Reading data received from Nextion on Serial Monitor

Other Hardware Displays
21

Hello Can anyone help please.
Got a far as trying to use Serial Software but using "Serial " I get the expected results but using the "mySerial code "I seem to receive nothing at the Arduino.
This works using Arduino Pins 0 and1

int aaa = 0;
int bbb = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println ("   GIDDAY  ");
}

void loop() {
  
if(Serial.available())
{
String datA="";
delay(30);
while(Serial.available()){
  datA+=char(Serial.read());
  }
  //Serial.println(datA);
  //sendData(datA);//   
  aaa = datA.toInt();
  if (aaa >0){
  Serial.println(aaa);
  bbb=(aaa*12);
  Serial.println (bbb);
  }
}
}

This receives nothing at the Arduino using pins 14 and 15

int aaa = 0;
int bbb = 0;
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(15,14); //RX, TX 
void setup() {
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println ("   GIDDAY  ");
}

void loop() {
  
if(mySerial.available())
{
String datA="";
delay(30);
while(mySerial.available()){
  datA+=char(mySerial.read());
  }
  //Serial.println(datA);
  //sendData(datA);//   
  aaa = datA.toInt();
  if (aaa >0){
  Serial.println(aaa);
  bbb=(aaa*12);
  Serial.println (bbb);
  }
}
}

Can anyone please give me some advice

SoftwareSerial mySerial(15,14); //RX, TX

The first thing to check is the Rx and Tx from the Nextion are connected the right way round

Tx Bob. I seem to have accidentally fixed my problem by reassigning the Arduino Pins 9 and 10 to
Tx and Rx and now the code seems to work.
Is there an easy explainable(Dummies) reason for this?

My best guess is that you had the Tx and Rx connections reversed

Thank you. Consider closed.
