Hi All,

I am trying get text from nextion into arduino variable but its not working I tried the following:

memset(buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer)); //

b211.getText(buffer, sizeof(buffer)); //

Serial.println(buffer);

and it only works if i set text manually using tState2.setText("Example"); and call the above again

I have also tried this arduino code but same problem:

char text_char[4];

tState2.getText(text_char, 4);

Serial.println(text_char);

All I get is empty output in serial monitor expect if i manually do tState2.setText("example"); . I dont want this i want to get the text from live nextion screen. I have been stuck for a week on this :

Any help would be appreciated
