How do I set Nextion 4.3 up so I can display items from the Dash Studio on my USBD480? - Dash Studio USBD480 "Searching device..."

I've got a 4.3 Nextion and 16 LED array wired to an Arduino Pro Micro which I have successfully managed to upload one of the standard Nextion dashboards through the Simhub Nextion Editor. I am trying to display the ACC-CDS plugin on it but on the USBD480 tab on the Dash Studio page in Simhub can't seem to connect to it. It remains saying "Searching device", if I select "Start on USBD480" nothing happens, presumably because this page isn't recognising the Nextion. Simhub recognises the Nextion on the Nextion page in Simhub but there is no Template option for this plugin in the drop down menu. How do I set it up so I can display items from the Dash Studio on my USBD480?

Hi !

Nextion can't support dashstudio (it's a physical limitation as this screen doesn't have the same capabilities : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Nextion-Display#warning-

You can read all the nextion specific instructions about switching/creating templates here : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki#nextion-support

@admin5435 Thanks for the quick reply. If I use a Vocore Screen instead would I then need to run the LED array on an Arduino on another USB connection. I can't find any guides about integrating LEDs with a Vocore or USBD480 like you can by running the Nextion and Arduino?
