Nextion Displays - abarrow - 2018-12-10

Hi all,
I just learned about Nextion Displays - LCD screens up to 7 inches (as small as 2.5 inches) that support touch and include an onboard processor to do the hard GUI work, with only four wires to the PI for control and power.

Has anyone tried one of these with OpenPlotter? They are more expensive than other displays, but they seem very nice looking for ease of use.

yes i had one i got from a kick starter thing a few yrs back think of it as an input device more than a display..
unless there's been improvements since i got mine.. it was the first run..
