I am using web editor and it cannot find my library.properties filefor my nextion library
I have one in the zip, but it tells me I dont...
Whats going on?
Why do you need it? This file is optional
it's not optional to upload a library into the web editor
This problem is only with one of some libraries or with all?
I am trying to use the ITEADLIB_Arduino_Nextion specifically (it cannot be used with the traditional IDE, so I'm forced to use the web tool)
if there is a way to get this file in and not use library.properties I would be very appreciative to learn
You said your archive contains the file?
I don't see library.properties in the github on your link
yes, I had to create this file in notepad++:
name=ITEADLIB_Arduino_Nextion
version=0.7.0
author=Wu Pengfei
maintainer=ITEAD Intelligent Systems Co., Ltd.
sentence=An easy-to-use way to manipulate Nextion serial displays
paragraph=
category=Display
url=GitHub - itead/ITEADLIB_Arduino_Nextion
architectures=*
includes=Nextion.h
I played with that library on the standard IDE, and it's not worth any effort.
I need to read buttons and im a hardware guy
Is there a different library that doesnt rely on the nextion sending all data over serial? ive seen some great videos on this library that makes reading buttons very easy
You could set I/O pins of the Nextion by button actions.

Communication from and to the Nextion is serial only to my knowledge.
It has a little strange line delimiter (3 x 0xFF),
but the communication can be done by hand, without a library for the Nextion.
i also have a slider, I should have been more detailed
i know its serial, but everything ive seen is just sending data after a release, which is not a good use case for me
I have 3 variables to set before a start button is pressed
sending data on release events means i will receive data when i dont want to
this provided a very easy way to just say "read h0" and the serial interface is taken care of
I may just be forced to dive into using the serial port, but there only seem to be videos of the nextion sending data instead of the arduino reading the data
Read the documentation for the Nextion.

I have used my own library for the line gathering
ive seen it
Any chance you know why the web tool cant see my library properties file?
I'd like to focus on the original question
Otherwise im capable of finding the resources to do serial transfers manually
im sure its not that hard, but i like caveman tools
I don't use "the web tool".
The Itead Nextion library is crap, you are warned.
