Giveaway Week – Nextion Enhanced 7″ Capacitive Display

My Nextion Enhanced NX8048K070 display will soon find a new home. The 7″ display comes with a capacitive touchscreen, an enclosure, and can work in standalone mode thanks to a built-in processor and a 8-pin FPC connector for I/Os, or connected to a micro-controller through a UART interface.

I did a mini review of the display, mostly showing a teardown, and how to use Nextion Display Editor Windows-only tool to design your own user interface. The GPIOs are not really convenient to use with the required flat cable, and the company did not send me their $5 IO board, which would have made things easier. Learning curve may be a little sharper than needed as I’ve not found the Windows software to be very user-friendly, and documentation could be improved too.

I’ll give the display with enclosure, micro USB power board, and UART cable as shown on the first photo.

To enter the draw simply leave a comment below. Other rules are as follows:

  • Only one entry per contest. I will filter out entries with the same IP and/or email address.
  • Contests are open for 48 hours starting at 10am (Bangkok time) every day. Comments will be closed after 48 hours.
  • Winners will be selected with random.org, and announced in the comments section of each giveaway.
  • I’ll contact the winner by email, and I’ll expect an answer within 24 hours, or I’ll pick another winner.
  • Shipping
    • $15 for registered airmail small packet for oversea shipping payable via Paypal within 48 hours once the contest (for a given product) is complete.
    • If Paypal is not available in your country, you can still play, and I’ll cover the cost of sending the parcel by Sea and Land (SAL) without registration if you win.
  • I’ll post all 10 prizes at the same time, around the 8th of November
  • I’ll make sure we have 10 different winners, so if you have already won a device during this giveaway week, I’ll draw another person.

If you don’t end up being the winner, but are still interested in the solution, Nextion Enhanced 7″ display can be purchased for $88 with resistive touch and $108 with capacitive touch.

  5. I have read the mini review,looking forward. & “CNXSoft was here!” I DONT know but somehow i always find these funny and humorous.

  7. This one is really a great giveaway. Would be perfect for my home automation control board

  39. I oddly enough like Nextion HMIs (because of the MS Windows only software and very closed format of the files generated for the displays)… for small screens, beware of the chinese versions (the software forked a couple of years ago and is unusable)
    I have a handful, including two revamped one for small projects and I will certainly get some more at one point.
    That said, count me in for the giveaway !

  92. Awesome, that would fit in with my headless iot device , could you add my name?

  105. This would have to be a pretty impressive display to be worth $100, but I would pay $15 for shipping just to find out.
