I enlarged the window of one of my earlier uBITX rigs (that had been installed in a Circuit Specialists extruded aluminum case) to fit the 3.2 inch Enhanced Nextion. Originally I had used a 4 line by 20 character I2C LCD display and I was able to make the Nextion fit in that case by seriously enlarging the opening.? It isn't as neat as if I would have been able to start with a blank panel, but I have a Bezel on order (should be here today) that I hope will cover most of the old screw holes and then I can re-label the jacks & controls.
I got complacent when I wired it originally and was off on the blue "TX" wire from the display to Raduino display socket by 1 pin.? I had the Nextion's TX going to pin 5 (ground) rather than pin 4 (RST) and it displayed everything just fine but would not (of course) command the rig.? Once I got my head removed from a dark place and wired it correctly (LOL) it now works really well.?
I had to go back and re-read Ian's info on the Manager program and do some configuring (still more to do, but I'm on the road now) to get it running smoothly.? Hopefully the new Bezel will help me make it look as nice as the original did with the 4 X 20 display with it's original bezel.? The color Nextion will definitely spiff it up quite a bit with a cleaned up front panel.? Here's a couple pix of the work in progress. Even with the old, vacated holes in the panel it still doesn't look too bad.
