Bought a very nice chassis and ordered a ver 6 board. Looking to buy a 5" Nextion display....what is the best model number? I see a few choices on amazon.
Thank you - Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm not positive but I thought there was only two versions of the 5” Nextion. In not quite sure what the difference is between the two. I bought the Nextion “Enhanced” 5” display because after reading several post it appeared that was the recommended one. I too just bought a case made for the 5” Nextion and also just received a uBITX V6.?I haven't had a chance to assemble ?it yet though. One thing you should read about on the forums is Nextion recommends using a different 5 volt voltage regulator and not to use the one that goes to the arduino. Something about if the power drops too low that you could dame the display. In the Nextion paperwork that came with it it suggest the same. There was no explanation why there could be damage though. Please don't consider my information as the authority, as I'm just learning too.

Hi Mike,?

Just by coincidence, there is an explanation about how low voltage can damage a display on today's posts: ? ?/g/BITX20/topic/82625127
Hopefully, this will help, if your interested.

Robert and Mike,

There are 3 series of Nextion displays now; Intelligent (The newest), Enhanced, and Basic.? For the ?BITX, there is more than enough processing power in the Basic versions, just not always enough memory.? I am not aware of any pre-compiled hex files for the Intelligent 5" display.? The most common for 5" that I have seen are for the Enhanced version.? You can find a tft file and then compile it for the model that you buy using the free Nextion editor.? The one problem that you could run into with a Basic display is running out of memory if you go to compile the program.? You also need to be aware that the screen files are bitmapped, not scalable, so a 2.4" source has to have all of the background files modified, and the button locations changed to make it work on a larger display.? A rather time-consuming process.??

The Nextion product home page is here:


After all of that, I would suggest the Enhanced version:?NX8048K050 for 5"

Hi, Evan

once again you save the day, Thank you. I bought the 5” enhanced version. I haven’t compared the model number to the one you provided but I would imagine it’s the same. Now I just have to assemble everything.Thank you for the information.

Hi,

In Linux you can batch resize files in seconds using the command line.? Might save time if there are a lot of similar size images.
