7 # Introduction
8
9 Nextion Arduino library provides an easy-to-use way to manipulate Nextion serial
10 displays. Users can use the libarry freely, either in commerical projects or
11 open-source prjects, without any additional condiitons.
12
13 For more information about the Nextion display project, please visit
14 [the wiki。](http://wiki.iteadstudio.com/Nextion_HMI_Solution)
15 The wiki provdies all the necessary technical documnets, quick start guide,
16 tutorials, demos, as well as some useful resources.

55 Offline Documentation's entry `doc/Documentation/index.html` shiped with source code
56 can be open in your browser such as Chrome, Firefox or any one you like.

58 # Suppported Mainboards
59
60 **All boards, which has one or more hardware serial, can be supported.**
61
62 For example:
63
64 - Iteaduino MEGA2560
65 - Iteaduino UNO
66 - Arduino MEGA2560
67 - Arduino UNO
68
69 # Configuration
70
71 In configuration file NexConfig.h, you can find two macros below:
72
73 - dbSerial: Debug Serial (baudrate:9600), needed by beginners for debug your
74 nextion applications or sketches. If your complete your work, it will be a
75 wise choice to disable Debug Serial.
76
77 - nexSerial: Nextion Serial, the bridge of Nextion and your mainboard.
78
79 **Note:** the default configuration is for MEGA2560.
80
81 ## Redirect dbSerial and nexSerial
82
83 If you want to change the default serial to debug or communicate with Nextion ,
84 you need to modify the line in configuration file:
85
86 #define dbSerial Serial ---> #define dbSerial Serialxxx
87 #define nexSerial Serial2 ---> #define nexSeria Serialxxx
88
89 ## Disable Debug Serial
90
91 If you want to disable the debug information,you need to modify the line in
92 configuration file:
93
94 #define DEBUG_SERIAL_ENABLE ---> //#define DEBUG_SERIAL_ENABLE
95
96 # UNO-like Mainboards
97
98 If your board has only one hardware serial, such as UNO, you should disable
99 dbSerial and redirect nexSerial to Serial(Refer to section:`Serial configuration`).
