Revision as of 08:11, 28 October 2016

Note:

1. The instruction is end with three bytes "0xff 0xff 0xff"

2. All the instrucitons and parametners are in ASCII

3. All the instrucitons are in lowercase letters

Classification I: Operation Commands of Component and System

page: Refresh page

page pageid

pageid: Page ID or Page Name

• Example 1:

page 0         //Refresh page 0

• Example 2:

page main    //Refresh the page main

Remarks:

The device automatically refresh page 0 when power on.

---

ref: Refresh component

ref cmpID

cmpID: component ID or component name

• Example

ref t0   //refresh component t0
ref 1    // refresh component 1

Remarks:

1. The default loading mode is automatically load when you create and edit a component in Nextion Editor. If set it as manually load, you should use ref command to load the component. Or when the component is covered by the other components, you can use this command to refresh the covered component.

2. Component auto refresh when attribute changes only valid for those attributes in green bold font. The other attributes not in this format can only be refreshed and displayed by the command of ref.

3.When creating a component in Nextion editor, the default loading mode is auto loading. When the loading mode is set as manual loading, it requires to use ref to load. When the component is sheltered by GUI command mapping, or when the component is sheltered by other manual loading components, you can use ref to refresh the component.

---

click: Activate component's press/release event

click cmpID, event

cmpID: component ID or component name

event: 0 - release event; 1 - press event

• Example

click b0, 1   //activate press event of component b0
click 2, 0   //activate release event of component 2

Remark:

1, Use "click" command to activate press/release event of a component without touch the LCD.

ref_stop: Stop refreshing screen

• Example

ref_stop   // no parameters

Remarks:

1.If you do not want to see the whole waveform flow progress, rather, you want to view the whole waveform all at once, you can stop refreshing the screen and refresh it when all adopted points being passed through.

2.Once stop refreshing the screen, all other commands and responded attribute assign operations will still run normally, but the components on the screen will not auto-refresh, neither will any changes in component attributes be refreshed and displayed on the screen(the changes are valid). When the device receive the command ref_star, those changes will be immediately refreshed and displayed on the screen (on condition that the changes are made from the attributes in green bold font).

3.When stop refreshing the screen, ref command will still be executed. Besides, all GUI drawing instructions such as draw point, draw line will still be executed and any changes will be immediately displayed.

---

ref_star: Recover refreshing screen

ref_star: recover refreshing screen

• Example

ref_star   // no parameters

Remarks:

This command should be used after ref_stop command.

---

get: Get variable/constant value with format

get att

att: variable name

• Example 1

• Example 3

get "123"      //return constant string "123"

• Example 4

get 123      //return constant value: 123

Remarks:

1. When returned value is a string, the returned data is 0X70+ASCII code+0xff 0xff 0xff.

2. When returned value is numerical, returned data is 0X71+4 byte binary data+0xff 0xff 0xff. The data storage mode is little-endian mode (namely, low-order in front, and high-order at back).

3. The specific returning format of data, please refer to the table: Format of Device Return Data

---

sendme: send current pageID to UART

• Example:

---

cov: variable type conversion

cov att1,att2,lenth

att1: source variable

att2: target variable

lenth: length of the string(0 - automatic length, nonzero - fixed length)

• Example 1:

cov h0.val,t0.txt,0  //convert the value variable of slider h0 val into decimal string and assign the txt variable of t0, the length is automatic

• Example 2:

cov t0.txt,j0.val,0  //convert the string variable of t0 txt into value and assign the variable of slider h0 val, the length is automatic

Remarks:

1.lenth always represents the length of the string, when the value converts into string, it is the length of target variable; when the string converts into value, it is the length of source variable.

2. If the target variable and source variable are of the same type, the conversion failed.

---

1.The first parameter 255 means all components in current page, for example: tsw 255, 0 (all components in current page touch invalid); tsw 255, 1 (all components in current page touch valid).

---

com_stop: Stop execute instructions from UART

• Example:

com_stop  //no parameters

Remarks:

This command is used for pausing the execution of serial port commands, but note that the device will continue receiving the commands and store them in the buffer. Until receiving "com_star" commands, the device will execute the rest commands that store in the buffer.

When using this command to pause the execution, please make sure whether the buffer size and the maximum capacity of command queue can store all the commands you need. You will find these two parameter in Nextion Hardware manual.

---

com_star: Execute instructions from UART

• Example:

com_star  //no parameters

Remarks:

After receiving this command, the device will execute all the commands that store in buffer and new commands form UART.

When using com_stop and com_start, please make sure whether the buffer size and the maximum capacity of command queue can store all the commands you need. You will find these two parameter in Nextion Hardware manual.

---

randset: Set random value range

randset minval,maxval

minval: minimum value

maxval: maximum value

• Example:

ranset 1,100  //set current value randomly generated from 1 to 100

Remarks:

1. You should use randset to set random value generated range beforehand. Without setting randset, the value range will be 0~4294967295 by default. Aftering setting randset, you will get a new random value within the preset range every time you run rand

2. The range set by randset keeps valid unless the device being reboot or reset.

• Example 4:

print 123 //returns the 4-byte hexadecimal data of value "123":0x7B 0x00 0x00 0x00

Remarks:

1. When the variable obtained by using print command is string type, the device directly returns string ASCII; if it is numeric type (such as progress val property) , the device will directly return the variable’s 4-byte hexadecimal data, value is stored as little-endian mode (ie low level in the front, high level at the back ).

2. When use print command to obtain data, the device sends only the data content, no start identifier, nor end mark.

3.print command can match up printh command to add a piece of user-defined label in the front so as to tell the microcontroller which component this variable belongs to).

4. print command is very similar to get command, the only difference between them is get command returns data with initial identifier (0x70 or 0x71) and end mark (0xff 0xff 0xff), while print not.

---

Format of Device Return Data

Table 1: serial l instruction execution success or failure notification format

1.Only when the system variable bkcmd is not zero will return instruction execution succeed or fail data, bkcmd defaults to 0 after each power on, which means it does not return the result of instruction execution.

2.The code of the source file is not affected by bkcmd when software is under editing, the error data will be returned when there is an execution error, and the error data will not be returned when execute success.

3.The returned data is ended with three bytes of “0XFF 0XFF 0XFF”.

The first byte of returned data	Meaning	Format
0X00	Invalid instruction	0X00+End
		Return this data when receiving the invalid instruction sent by the user
0X01	Successful execution of instruction	0X01+End
		Return this data when the instruction sent by the user is successfully executed
0X03	Page ID invalid	0X03+End
		Return this data when the instruction sent by the user contains invalid page ID or invalid page name
0X04	Picture ID invalid	0X04+End
		Return this data when the instruction sent by the user contains invalid picture ID
0X05	Font ID invalid	0X05+End
		Return this data when the instruction sent by the user contains invalid font ID
0X11	Baud rate setting invalid	0X11+End
		The baud rate setting instruction sent by the user contains invalid baud rate parameter
		Baud rate supported by the device including:2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200
0X12	Curve control ID number or channel number is invalid	0X12+End
		When users use the add commands to add data to curve, this data will be returned as curve control ID number or channel number is invalid
0X1A	Variable name invalid	0X1A+End
		Return this data when the serial port receives invalid variable name
		Note: control attribute is also called variable. For example, when you set the attribute of a control, it will return this data if the unavailable attribute name is input.
0X1B	Variable operation invalid	0X1B+End
		For example, when txt attribute of text component t0 is assigned, it should be written as t0.txt=“abc” It is wrong if you write t0.txt=abc.
		For another example, the val attribute of progress bar j0 should be numerical, so it should be written as j0.val=50; it will be wrong if you write j0.val=“50” or j0.val=abc.
0X1C	Failed to assign	0X1C+End Return this data when attribute failed to assign.
0X1D	Operate PERFROM failed	0X1D+End Return this data when opearte PERFROM failed.
0X1E	Parameter quantity invalid	0X1E+End Return this data when the instruction parameter quantity input by user is wrong.
0X1F	IO operate failed	0X1F+End Return this data when operate IO failed.

Table 2: other data return format
