I've tried problem solving and can't work it out, so need to see if someone can assist. 

I followed the tutorial in creating this M6GT3 Dash and all went well. 
I managed to use Nextion Editor to save upload the tft file onto the nextion display. 

Loaded up SimHub and seems to be getting a connection - but will not work for me.
Trying to test using Project Cars 2.
All other simhub controlled devices work (gauge, led matrix, Wind Sim / Speed etc). 

Another thing is can't compile LED strips because the arduino device can't be found (unusable port - configured for Nextion)

Hi ! The nextion is totally separate from the classic Arduino features. Everything is located in the nextion configuration panel. The message (configured for nextion) simply indicates that the serial port won't be used for classic Arduino as it's already configured in the nextion dedicated settings.

In order to configure the nextion you need to follow the specific instructions. You will find this article about wiring and sketch upload for the specific nextion case : https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/Nextion-Display#wiring-nextion-through-an-arduino-micro

And this one about template installation : https://github.com/zegreatclan/SimHub/wiki/Nextion-Display---Installing-an -'editor'-template

If you need more informations about nextion compatibility template creation ...) you will find the complete nextion documentation index here : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki#nextion-support
