What is Nextion
Nextion is a Seamless Human Machine Interface (HMI) solution that provides a control and visualisation interface between a human and a process, machine, application or appliance. Nextion is mainly applied to IoT or consumer electronics field. It is the best solution to replace the traditional LCD and LED Nixie tube.
This solution includes hardware part - a series of TFT boards and software part - Nextion editor. Nextion TFT board uses only one serial port to do communicating. Let you get rid of the wiring trouble. We notice that most engineers spend much time in application development but get unpleasant results. In this situation, Nextion editor has mass components such as button, text, progress bar, slider, instrument panel etc. to enrich your interface design. And the drag-and-drop function ensures that you spend less time in programming, which will reduce your 99% development workloads. With the help of this WYSIWYG editor, GUI designing is a piece of cake.
We believe that your dozen days developing a complex HMI can be done in couple hours by using Nextion.

FAQ
Q: Can I use Nextion as a common TFT LCD?
A: Yes. Nextion supports GUI commands including drawing a dot or a line, filling solid color, showing a picture etc. You can connect the MCU through UART, and let the MCU control Nextion via GUI commands.
Q: Is Nextion touchable?
A: Yes. Nextion adopts resistive screen, supporting single-touch point, not support the multi-touch like capacitive screen.
Q: What’s the refresh rate of Nextion TFT boards?
A: The refresh rate of Nextion 2.4” is controlled by GPU, the speed is 80ms per frame. The refresh rate of Nextion 4.3” is controlled by GPU and RGB buffer, the speed is 20ms per frame.
Q: Can I ask you to customize the layout and location hole of Nextion TFT boards?
A: Yes. We provide custom Nextion. But only offer the customization of Nextion layout, location hole, and interface.
Q: Except 2.4” and 4.3”, what else screen size you provide?
A: We now only provide 2.4 and 4.3 size. We will develop Nextion 2.8” and 3.2” if this project is very welcome on Indiegogo. If everything goes well, it is expected that they will be on the market in October. Before then, we only produce and sell Nextion 2.4” and 4.3”
Q: How many OS does Nextion Editor support?
A: Only Windows support now. If the crow-funding successes, we will develop multi-platform
Nextion Editor Version to support Linux and Mac. It may come out in later of 2015.
Q: Can you ensure a steady supply of Nextion?
A: We guarantee to provide a steady supply of high-quality, low-cost Nextion 2.4”
and 4.3”. If we change the manufacture and use new TFT, we guarantee that the
display area and control method are in the same but a slightly change in the
appearance.
Q:If I upgrade Nextion Editor to a new version, will it affect my project I did
before?
A: Of course no. We guarantee the new version is compatible to the old version
seamlessly. In this case, you don’t need to worry about the compatibility problem.
