    1) You have to download the HMI file to the Nextion before running the Spin code that talks to it.

    • You can do this over a serial link
    • You can compile the HMI file, put it onto a uSD, and then put it into the Nextion and power it on (this is what I do)

    2) All of my HMI projects were developed around the 480x320 display. Your display is 800x480 so you're going to have to update the images used, and X/Y locations of some code.

    • You could make your life a little easier by ordering at 480x320 display and use my files as they are. Save the bigger display for later.

    3) Verify that your hardware works with code that doesn't rely on the Nextion operating.

    @JonnyMac

    Thank you very much for helping me.
    I took your advice and just ordered 480x320 "nextion" display.
    You have been a great help for many years(12) - with P1
    when I was building(prototype) neonatal ventilator. It works as intended .
    Medical appliances are highly regulated - needs a lot of animal trials to pass FDA regs.
    Now I am retired and playing with the propeller 2.

    Thank you again.
