#59 Nextion Display Tutorial #2: Create your own Application

In video #56 I showed you how to use the intelligent Nextion display with Arduino or ESP8266.
In this video, I show how you can write your own applications and how you create the necessary sketch in the Arduino IDE.

Hello Andreas. No I did not use your libraries. I like to type in the examples from the video as you go. That way I can see what you are doing as you are explaining the code. I can add more comments to the code so I can remember what you did and why you did it. This helps me remember how to recreate the code for my projects. I am glad I found your tutorials as they are easy for me to understand and help me create my own projects. Thank you!!!

After watching someone else's nextion tutorial to build my project I ended up with a super long big mess of a code but this video cleared everything up and finally got my project to work as it should and it's giving me ideas to extend it even more.
Viele dank, ganz gut tutorial.

I just wanted to let you know how valuable this video has been in helping me to understand the Nextion display and the code for the project I am working on, keep up the great work!

Another great video! Good to see that your subscriber base has grown as I forecast. Keep up the great work and I wish you safe travels.

Andreas, Great directions and easy to follow although I must admit to not having used the directions as yet. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Whoever puts dislikes must be joking, stupid or merely fumbling the buttons.

Saw these last week, and they look really good. Thanks for the explanation.

Just discovered your channel, your explanations are very clear, easy to follow and make a lot of sense, awesome!

WOW. This is the best information so far I've found on Nextion displays. I need to get my head around this. All i need, is display some variables from arduino on the display's textfields...

How could I have overlooked this video. Good thing Youtube thought it was something I wanted/needed to see

[NikolayAgopyan]

Thank you for this great tutorial! It was a big help for me to get the understanding how the display works.

[yekutielbenheshel]

Thanks for posting this excellent video! You are an outstanding teacher.

[omaryanas]

nice video, am currently working on an arduino project and am using the nextion 3.2", so this was very usefull, i also live in Dubai, and i like the picture u r using.

[CharlieTechie]

Very useful. It is people like you that make learning so easy. Thank you for you time.

Hello Andreas. I just loaded up this project on my Mega and 5" Nextion display. Except for a few spelling errors this sketch would not compile unless I added the following libraries: #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>
Once I added those everything worked like you described. Can't wait to continue on to learn more about using the Nextion display.
Thank you

John

[dariocorona]

Andreas über alles!!! Thank you and hope seeing soon your next video... thumb UP!

[knaguy]

Thanks so much, you got me up and running very quickly

[elettronica]

Excellent tutorial, it would be nice to have subtitles for other videos too.

[adirokr]

great tutorials sir
I request you to do a tutorial on calibration of mq gas sensors.so please if you can.
your all tutorials are just awesome.

Hi Andreas. It is possible to use the dual state buttons, to turn on and off, for a "LED loop". I want to turn on some led behaviors on my neopixel, and that has to be in at loop, or it is static light on and off. I need blicking and rainbow behavior ? Thanks ;)
