ON7LDS NextionDriver Installer and Checker
==========================================

This is installer version 1.06 ( 31 dec 2020 )

12/2020 : warning that the display should already work + option to stop if not

08/2020 : extra choices added

03/2019 : changed NextionDriver config options / minor corrections

04/2019 : changed startup scripts. NextionDriver will start later in the
 process, but wil less likely give problems when using modem connected
 displays

This repository brings you 3 helper programs for the installation of
NextionDriver when you do not want to do it by hand:

 * a program to install NextionDriver
 * a program to convert an existing MMDVMHost configuration file for
   using NextionDriver (this is called by the installer program)
 * a program to check the installation

-----
__Pi-Star users : Please use this installer to update your system if your 
installation is older than 09 feb 2019. Even if the NextionDriver was 
recently updated__

-----


### install.sh

This is the installer program for NextionDriver.

I (and others) have tested it on some hotspots, but there are always
much more situations and combinations than the ones we tested :-)
(special thanks to Rob PD0DIB and Jason KE7FNS their feedback)

The installer runs the configuration convertor program for automatically
converting the MMDVM.ini file to incorporate NextionDriver.


### NextionDriver_ConvertConfig

You could just run it (NextionDriver_ConvertConfig) if you installed
NextionDriver by hand, but it also will be called when you run the
installer !

### check_installation.sh

When you have installed the NextionDriver, this programs tries to check
the  MMDVMHost and NextionDriver configuration.  
The program then gives a lot of information about the installation
of the NextionDriver and if it seems to be OK or not.
