Nextion Display Layouts by ON7LDS (for MMDVMHost) ================================================= #################################### # # # screenLayout 3 & 4 files (-L3) # # # # DIY layouts # # # #################################### The screenlayout has to be selected with the parameter ScreenLayout in the MMDVM.ini file under the Nextion section. This way, the extra functions are activated. 0 = auto (future use, for now it's G4KLX layout) 1 = G4KLX layout 2 = ON7LDS layout (see README-L2) 3 = ON7LDS DIY layout (this README file) 4 = ON7LDS DIY layout Hig Speed (this README file) screenLayout 3 and 4 are the same, but selecting 3, MMDVMHost wil communicate at 9600bps with the display and selecting 4 will set the baudrate to 115200. If you select 4 (115200bps) *you* have to program your Nextion to default to that baudrate. How to set the default Nextion Display baudrate ? You could use the Nextion editor, connect to your display with the debug tool (do not forget to select your display and not the simulator) and give the command 'bauds=115200'. Another option is to set the command above in the Preinitialization Event of the first page. Nextion recommends to do the latter in any case, because 'on rare occasions bauds has become lost' DIY layouts ----------- When selecting this layout, all processing can and should be done in the Nextion display itself. Whenever MMDVMHost sends new data to the screen, it also sends information about what was sent as a number in global variable MMDVM.status. (see further in this document for a table of numbers and their events) Then MMDVMHost activates the Touch Press Event of object 'S0' of the active page. In this event procedure, all processing can be done. Check the Touch Press Event of object 'S0' of the DMR page of the example HMI file. As a straightforward example, the code there will show you how to do some tasks when receiving data from MMDVMHost or NextionDriver: - change colors and fonts of the TA on the DMR page when it arrives. (TA length calculation is done in the display itsself !) - remove the slot number from t2.txt (since it's always 2) - in the middle of the DMR screen, the previous user is displayed for each slot (S1 at the left, S2 at the right) This is done by copying the data from the ID/TA field to these fields at call end. The examples are there to give you an idea of what can be done. It is up to your imagination to go even further. When, for example, you want to change the text 'listening' to some other text, like 'RX', you just have to monitor the event status and take action in the Touch Event of S0 of the corresponding page. Or you could hide/show pictures, switch to other pages, etc. Check the NextionDriver program and the display layouts there to see some other examples of what can be done by programming in the display. (https://github.com/on7lds/NextionDriver) NOTE: it might be good to *not* remove fields from the display when you do not need them, but make them small (i.e. 10 x 10 pixels) and put them aside: Give them the same font color and background color as where you put them OR Put them behind some picture: put them on top of the picture, then select the picture and click the 'Bring Top' button to put it on top of all those fields OR set them invisible when the page is selected (with the 'vis' command) in the preinitialize event of the page This way, you can use the data from the fields to process them as is done with the GPS data in the example. Status codes that will be sent: ------------------------------- The status code gives more information about what was sent in the changed field. 1 : page MMDVM 2 : page D-Star 3 : page DMR 4 : page YSF 5 : page P25 11 : IDLE 12 : CW 13 : ERROR text 14 : ERROR 15 : LOCKOUT 16 : IPaddress 17 : ID/Call (t0 and t4,t5 are sent) 19 : END 41 : D-Star listening 42 : type/my1/my2 45 : your 46 : reflector 47 : RSSI 48 : ber 61 : DMR listening1 62 : ID1 63 : TA1 64 : Call end1 65 : TG1 66 : RSSI1 67 : ber1 69 : DMR listening2 70 : ID2 71 : TA2 72 : Call end2 73 : TG2 74 : RSSI2 75 : ber2 76 : GPS1 (t8,t9,t12) 77 : GPS2 (t10,t11,t13) 81 : YSF listening 82 : src 83 : dest 84 : origin 85 : RSSI 86 : ber 101 : P25 listening 102 : source 103 : dest 104 : RSSI 105 : ber Fields (and their numbers) on the pages, used by MMDVMHost ---------------------------------------------------------- MMDVM t0 : owner call & ID / errortext LOCKOUT t1 : status / ERROR t2 : date & time screenLayout >1 : t3 : ip address t4 : owner call t5 : owner ID D-Star t0 : type my1 my2 t1 : your t2 : reflector t3 : rssi t4 : ber DMR t0 : src1 id / call / TA t1 : dst t2 : src2 id / call / TA t3 : dst t4 : rssi1 t5 : rssi2 t6 : ber1 t7 : ber2 screenLayout >2 : t8 : GPS1 dec t9 : GPS1 DMS t10: GPS2 dec t11: GPS2 DMS t12: GPS1 err t13: GPS2 err YSF t0 : type,source t1 : dst t2 : src t3 : rssi t4 : ber P25 t0 : type,source t1 : dst t2 : rssi t3 : ber
