Awesome! I've made a keypad for entering a set of numbers to run some steppers. Really wanted to be able to include decimal points, but was unable to figure it out. This is exactly what I needed. I just started playing with the nextion screens and your channel has been an invaluable resource. Thanks so much.

[@CheapControls]

I am glad I can help. I am on a break but will back to making tutorial videos in a month or two. Thanks for watching.

[@rafaelesparza7467]

Thank you very much, your videos are very good, they have a lot of quality! How can I use this variable on the arduino? for example: If I received a 1.1 from the nextion screen and wanted to save the value for later use in an if like this: "if (value == 1.1) { digitalWrite (12,1);} "

[@CheapControls]

I would think you could use it similar to your example. Do you think it would be useful to make a follow up video with a practical example?

[@rafaelesparza7467]

@@CheapControls Yes, that would be very illustrative, I understand the general idea of ​​how to read and that opened many doors for other types of code. But I would like to see how you do it, your codes are much cleaner, and professional!

I was looking through some older comments and was wondering if I ever made a video that assisted you with this. I usually reply when I put out the video but I did not respond to you and I never want to leave people without a reply. I apologize if I was not able to assist you.

How will I send multiple float values(x1.val, x2.val, x3.val) from a single page by clicking a single button?

[@CheapControls]

I will try and help through your Email request.

[@benoitturcotte6800]

at 8:30 you say note there is a cast to float. What does it mean ?

[@CheapControls]

Before I answer that do you know the difference between a float and an integer. Sorry to ask but my answer will be different depending on if you know the difference or not.

[@benoitturcotte6800]

@@CheapControls I think a float have decimal and intger have not. Im french so i try to translate what was a '"cast" but never got an answer. :) thank for reply !

[@CheapControls]

I was waiting for your reply. to cast is to take a value, in this case an integer. If you want to keep it an integer for the code but for a single calculation you want to turn it into a float you can "cast" it. lets say you make x an integer. x = 10. Then x/4 would be equal to 2 instead of 2.5 but if you cast it like this float(x)/2 would temporarily turn it into a float just for this line of code.

Hi there, thanks a lot for the video. I have got one error while compiling. i.e. error invalid:Variables:send_value.txt for send_value.txt="float" send_value.txt+=decimal.txt send_value.txt+=value.txt print send_value.txt

[@CheapControls]

do you have the for line for(send_value.txt=="float") -- note the double equals sign

[@zeptohassan6928]

@@CheapControls sorry for the typing mistake. I'm not using for i have tried double equals to, but same error i'm getting i.e. Error:Invalid Variables: send_value.txt (double click to jump to code) send_value.txt(double click to jump to code) send_value.txt(double click to jump to code) send_value.txt(double click to jump to code)

I am still not following. If you go to cheap controls you can submit this as a comment and I will Email yo back then you can submit your code for review. If I see the HMI file it might help me follow you better. Sorry for following your request better.

Hi Thank you for the great video content you provide. I need a way to change the text in t0.txt from Standby to Running from Arduino to Nextion, could you show me an example. Thank you

[@makerfactory8544]

Also it would be great to be able to change this on multiple pages (a status bar on top, on all pages)

Congratulations on the excellent tutorial! What changes must be made to the code in order for it to run on ESP8266?

[@CheapControls]

I am not that familiar with the ESP8266. I have played with it and I believe it has a Serial Port. I would think the only change would be in the configuration of that portion. Thank you for watching and have a wonderful day.

[@Huw77]

Does this method work with multiple float values on the same page?

[@CheapControls]

You could but you would have to have a unique identifier for each box. float1 and float2 or something like that and then check for that unique identifier in the Arduino.
