4PIN show "LCD", pi-star Config MMDVM Display Type select Nextion -> Modem
HS RXD to Nextion TX
HS TXD to Nextion RX
HS 5V   to Nextion 5V
HS GND to Nextion GND



for Ver1.0.1( !! VCC,GND not same as Ver1.0)

Pi-Star Setting display type


2. Use USB to TTL adapter,


then in pi-star Config MMDVM Display Type select Nextion -> /dev/ttyUSB0
Note: Some USB2TTL adapt not work, had tested CP2102 / CH340 is OK, USB-STC-ISP do not work.
TTL RXD to Nextion TX
TTL TXD to Nextion RX
TTL 5V   to Nextion 5V
TTL GND to Nextion GND


For RPi hotSPOT with fan

1 Use board 4 PINs Display interface, follow the order.
Warning! Can Not Reversal 5V and GND!

2 Use USBtoTTL Adapter

For Repeater kit board


Just can use USBtoTTL Adapter, STM32F105 without serial interface
