Thanks for the comment. I forgot to add it to the playlist. This is part of a playlist I call subscriber requested. They are not directly related but they are helpful. If you go to cheapcontrols dot com I have them listed in order. You can play them from that location.
Thanks, I had already found it. And thanks again for the tutorials. They are the best you can find for Nextion. Hope you keep going on. My Englisch is not so good, so I don't understund all your explanation. But it's enaugh to follow you.
I have never minded the editor. I have had worse free products. My issue has always been with the support. But, the support has been way better in the last year or so. They are always telling me how stupid and ungrateful I am. They shouldn't worry, I know I am just a guy making videos.
I do but I treat it more like a blog. I have been trying to build Cheap Controls into a brand for years. Starting in November I decided to put more effort into it. I wanted to keep track of what I do as I go. I set up the Patreon account a year ago but I decided to keep everything free so I am using the account as a way to track my own progress as I build this brand and my second one. I used to list it in my video descriptions but I stopped awhile ago. I think if you search for Cheap controls on Patreon you will see my logo. You might find it interesting. You can view everything there for free also.
Cheap Controls, I'm retired having worked in IT and IS for 40 years. My specialty was Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Systems Project Management for Siebel Systems and Goldmine. I did a lot of contracting work. I have some Arduino projects in mind that I want to build, mainly for grins, but they could have some commercial potential. I think what you are doing fills a niche. You ought to offer the Patreon sponsorship as a way for viewers to make specific requests or to get you directly involved in their project on an as-need basis. If what your are doing is just a hobby, than it doesn't matter. But if you want to build a business out of it you are going to have to decide what you are willing to give away to attract customers and what you want to be compensated for. To my mind, something of value should not be given away. Unless for charitable purposes. Do you use Visual Studio or Amtel with the Visual Micro extension as an IDE? I use the latter. The cost is virtually nill so anyone can get setup with that platform. Even a hobbist. It is infinitely better than the Arduino IDE. No doubt you could come up-to-speed on those IDE's quickly. Perhaps you could give seminars on how to use the IDE's to Patreon members only. Releasing a couple of videos to the public for promotional purposes. One of the many big benefits of those IDE's is Web collaboration. It would enable you to work directly with a customer in the IDE simultaneously without the customer having to release to you their code in its entirety. Very convenient. Very practical. You could offer various Patreon subscription levels giving customer direct access to your expertise. Recurring incomes are the place to be these days. You have a marketable skill. You should capitalize on it. You need to decide where you are going with this. No one arrives where they want to go, without having decided where that is. You need a business model that's going to take you where you want to go. www.microchip.com/mplab/avr-support/atmel-studio-7 www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-Visual-Studio-Downloads.aspx th-cam.com/video/s4OufDo-d88/w-d-xo.html Good luck, S4T
@@search4truth616 Thank you for all the advice. I will look at all of that. I use Visual Studio for my web design. I prefer to code all my web sites by hand. I looked into coding Arduino with Visual studio once a long time ago but the ease of using the Arduino IDE won out. If it ain't broke kind of attitude. I am not sure if I am going to stick with this or not. You only live once and I have spent my life doing as many different things as I can. I have a pretty broad skill set. If there was an actual picture in the dictionary of jack of all trades master of none I think it would be me. It is strange that you posted this today. I post on Patreon every Friday and today I was thinking of moving the blog from Patreon to my personal page and starting exactly what you mentioned. I wasn't sure how to advertise the different levels but after watching a bit of the TH-cam video you put in your post and the help I have provided behind the scenes I am getting a pretty good idea of what I could build. Thanks again. Oh, and I was a microchip developer in the 90's I have not thought about that company in a long time.
How I can convert float number in string
You cast it as a String. if variable x is a float then Serial.print(String(x));
Many thanks - very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your very good work.
This is video number 3. But where can i find videos number 1 and 2?

I didn't think I could hate this Nextion Editor interface more lol

Very informative. No one else gets into this depth on Nextion. Thanks.
Are you on Patreon?
Thank you for the kind comment. I try my best.
