A Full Screen 3.5
#nextion
Others like myself have wished for a TFT file for the 3.5" Nextion screen that fills the whole space. While there are a few out there, they don't mirror the "original" format that we know and love (CEC version).?
This is a work in progress though it seems to work well enough to share for further tweaking.? I'm no programmer per se though by using some graphic arts thinking, I've put together the attached. There are a few little errors here and there, so, if you know more than I do or have learned something I've not fell over yet, please feel free to add corrections or tell me how to correct it.? For instance: on the page for recalling a memory entry to VFO, there is a button that should say, "READ" (top row, left of the Frequency mask). The active button is there but it's behind the background fill picture, and needs to be brought to the foreground. This started as the widely-available "3.5" screen file that doesn't fill a 3.5" screen, and was manually increased by 150% on the horizontal axis and by 133.3" on the vertical, picture by picture and block by block, with things shifted around for spacing and fit - and the font sizes increased in most cases.? It pays to be anal-retentive and O.C.D. just sometimes. Have fun! Ted K3RTA |
Hey, Sam. This was a really quick-and-dirty type deal. I mainly wanted to make things easier to see at a sit-back in the chair distance AND have the buttons react, rather than have the sensory ability 2/3 of the resized background art, i.e., avoid a 3.5" screen with 2.8"-sized touch sensor detectors buried behind somewhere.? One might consider dropping the last decimal position. Just not sure whether it adds much, that's all. I think once I learn how to do this Nextion design stuff (or as i/we use this to learn how), more of the menu-able options could be brought right up to the home screen of larger displays rather than simply expanding the original images to fill real estate proportionately. I'll await to see what you come up with (and hope to learn how you got that one button returned to the foreground where it came from). - Ted K3RTA |
Thanks, Sam. Now, I have no special attachment to the pictures, as this was someone else's program anyway :)?? I'll put this on a screen and give it some exercise.
The S-meter hasn't been hooked up yet on this build though it will be.? Regarding art design, a tiny mushroom cloud would be a nice touch for signals above +20. |
Sam, I took the 15 seconds to hook up my S-meter and the display works just fine with booming signals.? There's plenty of travel across the meter. Some of the digits in the frequency manual entry screen (touch freq readout on main screen & it changes to band selection/number inputs) are in the wrong place but that's easily fixed on my end.? Have you corrected or worked on anything else since Saturday? 73, Ted K3RTA |
How do, Ray?
That was for the basic 3.5" screen. I've attached an original HMI file and also a compiled TFT for the Enhanced, though I wouldn't blame you a bit for looking it over first. Best of luck with the capabilities. Comments more than welcomed. It's a learning process on this end. 73, Ted K3RTA nextion 35 wide 2.11_E_.tft

Hello A friend or someone may have the charge for Nextion 3.2 basic (400X240) but for soft CEC v1.200 I am trying to convert a file from 2.8 but the main screen is quite complex. Thank you Karol SQ6POH |
