Thanks for watching. I hope to start putting them out weekly again soon. It might be every other week to start. I am going to make the videos shorter and associate them with a blog post. this way I can alter or add to the blog as questions and comments com in. If you have some time please look at the blog post associated with this video and let me know if you think it adds value.
Warning about the latest editor version! So I downloaded it last week. I back up all my work to a safe location "JUST IN CASE." I tested the new version 1.65.0 and there are problems. Sufficient enough that I went back to 1.63.3. I thought that I had made some notes to remind me of the issues, but if I didn't, I can't find them right now. One thing I remember was picture type names. It was something like where 1.63.3 a dual state button will have something like pic2 or pic0 instead of pic. There was a difference there. Due to this sill change, if you go to load a project made in 1.63.3, you can expect a lot of compile errors where pic / picc is used. I'm sorry, I can't remember the exact issue. There were some other issues too. Before sticking with a version, I run lots of tests for stability and things like bad conversions. Of course, I ALWAYS back up ALL my Nextion work files to my backup server to make it easy to restore things.
I read your comments and that is the reason this video is on the older version. I will be installing the new version on a separate computer and working through this example and a few others. It might lead to a video. Thank you for your continued support and I am happy to have you continue to comment.
@@CheapControls If you are going to test this, may I recommend that you add some picture elements as well as a normal button or 2 and a dual-state button or 2? They just use any little pictures that would fit them, 40x40 for example. I'd suggest doing this is 1.6 3.3, save backup and then load into 1.65.1. If you don't have the same issue, what I'm willing to do is to again, backup my current project and run 1.65.1 on a copy of what I have. I will then note down what I found. I'm a bit annoyed with myself, because I was sure I had done that. Oh well. If I can duplicate my findings, I'll let you know where and be specific on which elements appear to have changed.
I agree! LOL Thanks to Bill, I finally got into ESP32 and now, I'm kicking myself for not doing it much sooner! My biggest project, 'Whole House Monitoring System" I'm not officially shelving as it was all Arduino. I find the radios, nRF2401L a bit problematic. In playing with the much more robust ESP32 (38 Pin WROOM) and ESP32-CAM, I've decided to go that route for my project. It seems a lot more stable and so much more memory to work with. So If there are ESP32 vids, I'm in!
I am the same. I wish I had started using the ESP32 earlier. I am currently working with a Adafruit version of the UNO. I will be going between the ESP and Adafruit. My next video will be about Bluetooth and connecting the Nextion to a ESP32 wirelessly. At least that is what I am planning. I am doing it for myself. I want to document some information.
Good to see a new video

That is a little more involved but I like it. Maybe a video for another week. I will start working on it.
how to make it reset when you turn it on?
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I am not sure I understand. What are you trying to reset?
@@CheapControls I want when I supply power to the display, he made a poll in what position the slicer h0
You have two choices. You can do it on the page postinitialization or you could have a timer set to continually set n0.val = h0.val
@@CheapControls you are a genius)))
I set the timer n0=h0 and the values were set at the start.
thank you very much you are a good person!!!
I am glad it worked.
Do more esp32 vids!!!!
I plan on it. Thanks for watching.
