modified by ssjrocks to reformat output for arduino->nextion and rgb control adaption
requires easy nextion library for arduino https://github.com/Seithan/EasyNextionLibrary
the nextion pc stats display
the rgb component running off cpu temperature
please note, i am very new to coding and arduino, use any of this software or my method of implementation at your own risk, no guarantees
arduino mega(shouldnt be to hard to adapt to software serial for uno just have not sorted this myself) nextion 240x320 2.8" screen ... im using nx3224TO28_011, others would work but might need some modifications... or just clone the him for your screen
using the hardware serial program, i modified it to encapsulate specific values and change the format it outputs over the serial so i could process the values in an arduino and then have the arduino do the nextion communication the reason for this is i am unable to figure out how to use the nextion direct from the hardware serial monitor application due to lack of coding knowledge/skills
an arduino mega plugged in via usb recieves the hardware serial monitor output through the usb connection. the arduino reads the values coming in from Serial and splits the data into 8 variables
cpu load
cpu temp
gpu load
gpu temp
cpu clock
gpu clock
it also maps the percentage for cpu load to the angles required for the gauge values
and then uses the easy nextion library to pass these values to the screen via Serial1(tx1(pin 19) and rx1(pin 18))
hardware serial monitor must be run as administrator and auto detect port seems to work fine
