Nextion Display gone??
Hello everyone.
I have been playing with the ESPEasy firmware for some time. Mainly with various ESP32 modules. I am very satisfied with it. Today I bought a new ESP8266 NodeMCU. Unfortunately I didn't get it flashed with the ESPTOOL. No problem with the Arduino IDE.
But now my actual question. I would like to use my Nextion Enhanced 7 "display. Unfortunately I can no longer find it on the" Devices"tab . Because I have now used the Arduino for the first time to flash, I have used of this link: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... are_Upload
This is probably an older version, because I can't find the following lines anywhere:
// build all the normally stable plugins
// # define PLUGIN_BUILD_NORMAL
// build all plugins that are in test stage
// # define PLUGIN_BUILD_TESTING
// build all plugins that are still being developed and are broken or incomplete
// # define PLUGIN_BUILD_DEV
Is there an option to still be able to use the Nextion Display?
Thanks in advance!
Here a screenshot of my Firmware settings.. Just in case... lol

As far as I know, it is included in the "test" build.
But the problem is that lately the build size of the pre-built binaries has become quite large.
The nightly builds have a check to see if a binary will fit and if not, it will not include them into the zip file.
So it is very well possible the last build(s) do not have all binary versions included in the zip file.

Re: Nextion Display gone??
pardon, will the nextion plugin come back in the normal 4mb bin ?
Have a great day

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Yes it will be in the test build once the script is running. So hopefully tomorrow.

Re: Nextion Display gone??
We haven't merged any code yet so no new version has been released yet.

Re: Nextion Display gone??
And since a new bug was introduced in the core libs last night, I think I will not merge this evening, or else all core 2.6.0 builds will immediately crash at boot.
Hmm, almost sounds like we're testing here.... Don't tell anyone
The change in last night's core lib was about reduction of binary size by the way.

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Hi everyone,
I tried to compile myself with IDE the last source code and I used the nextion screen.
The device "nextion" is on a testing step, so when I finish to compile, the nextion device was not available on the web interface :/
So can you tell my how to include stable + testing + dev plugin to compile all ?
Thanks for your help.
ps : I want to compile the code because I will change some parameters on the nextion code...Etc

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Just make sure to have USES_P075 defined.
See this file: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... gin_sets.h
Make sure to move the define for it to the context where you need it.

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Hi guys,
i am new with the topic of Nextion displays and also not a codegod but I hope you are tolerant to my unknowingness.
I´ve bought a 2,4" Nextion Display and wanted to try it (ESP_Easy_mega-20191108_normal_ESP8266_4M1M.bin) but there is no "Display - Nextion" option in the divices.
I´ve watched many Howto´s and TUT´s and everywhere they just used under devices the "Display - Nextion".
So it doesn't work anymore? Am I right?
Or is there just a Plugin missing und can be installed in addition?
Many thanks in advance

Re: Nextion Display gone??
You should try "test" instead of "normal".

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Oh thank you!
Now I get the "Display - Nextion"
The testing can go on.
Re: Nextion Display gone??
Hi !
First sorry for my (bad) english (i'm french).
I'm trying to put esp easy, with arduino IDE (linux), on my wemos to use my nextion display.
I was able to do it on an old version of esp easy but now i can't.
I'm trying to do this with ESPEasy_mega-20200310 version.
I've uncomment "#define PLUGIN_BUILD_TESTING" in ESPEasy-Globals.h and i've uncomment "#define USES_P075 // Nextion" in Custom-sample.h but doesn't work
Does someone can help me before i became crazy ?
Thank you.

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Please use PlatformIO as building in ArduinoIDE is a lot more complicated.
As quick fix in ArduinoIDE you can set this in the file ESPEasy.ino:
To use the Custom.h file you should rename the sample file to Custom.h and make sure it will be used at compile time.
But this is also a lot easier to do with PlatformIO.

Code: Select all
#define USES_P075

Re: Nextion Display gone??
Hello,
I'm trying to use platformIO but i find it so complicated =|
I understand that i've to set -DUSE_CUSTOM_H flag to use Custom.h file in build but i don't understand where i must put this flag
Can you help me please ?

Re: Nextion Display gone??
That flag should be set on the compile command line, or you use a define on one of the first lines of ESPEasy.ino like this:
Code: Select all
#define USE_CUSTOM_H
