Edit HMI Page Files for an inverted Display

[mimk97]

Hi.
is it possible to edit the Page Files with Nextion Editor and rotate it 180 Degrees?
I use inverted Sscreen

Take a look at the -Inverted firmware, eg: https://github.com/HASwitchPlate/HASPone/blob/main/Nextion_HMI/HASwitchPlate-Inverted.tft

hhm. can i extract the TFT, so i can edit the HMI?

[aderusha]

If you're editing the HMI in Nextion editor, you can rotate the project file in the device setup.

[mimk97]

yes. i done it. But then the Touch doesn´t work :(
isn´t it neccessary to new Program the Object´s ?

[mimk97]

i edited Page 3, see attached. then Rotate Display 180 Degrees and the export as TFT

I'm not sure if I follow the question now - what are you trying to do, and how isn't it working?

[mimk97]

ah ok. Just for my understanding:
I must only edit the HMI and Rotate the Display in Display Setting 180° and it must work?
not neccessary to edit something else in the Nextion Editor?
Cause to test i changed nothing in the HMI, just rotate and flash
Result is the same: Touch not working
If i flash the "unrotated" file, Touch works :(

as an alternative Solution, do you know if it´s possible to get the Clock working to another Page. In my Case P9 B12

Again, I don't really know what's happening but debug logging will tell you directly what the HASPone is seeing and how it's responding. The clock blueprint prints text at a fixed size which won't work correctly with smaller buttons. You can modify that blueprint to use a smaller font if that's the goal, but you might also run into limits on the size limit for the button you want to use, and also, the blueprint is doing some goofy stuff to provide an icon image next to the time which will have to be removed as it won't fit and also won't work.

thanks. i think than i would do that.
debug Log isn´t an Option for me. Casue the Screen is mounted in the Wall. Fixed with glue :)

[mimk97]

Thanks for your Help!

Check the linked wiki article above, telnet log is an option. It's a really helpful look at what Nextion is doing and if you're going to be developing your own solutions, you're probably going to want to be able to look at what's happening.
