NextionDriver Installer and Checker
===================================
This is installer version 1.04 ( 16 aug 2019 )
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
-----
__Please use this installer to update your system if your installation is
older than this date. 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 for his 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.
