The NX8048P070-011C Nextion display is a 7 inch HMI touch screen that handles the graphics and touch on its own, so your controller only needs to send and receive short serial messages. As a 7 inch Nextion HMI display with 800x480 resolution and a capacitive touch panel, it suits control panels, smart-home screens, machine interfaces and engineering graduation projects.

7 Inch Nextion HMI Display With 800x480 Capacitive Touch
This 7 inch Nextion HMI display gives you an 800x480 screen (also configurable as 480x800) with 65K colors and a brightness of 300 nit that you can adjust from 0% to 100%. The capacitive touch panel responds to a light touch, which feels closer to a phone screen than a resistive panel. It belongs to the Nextion Intelligent Series, so screens are designed visually instead of being coded pixel by pixel.
Capacitive Touch HMI LCD for UART Control
As a capacitive touch HMI LCD, the NX8048P070-011C keeps the interface work inside the display. You build pages with buttons, sliders, gauges, text and images in the Nextion Editor using drag-and-drop components, then load the project onto the screen. After that, your controller talks to the display over a UART serial connection, sending short commands to change values and receiving touch events back. The serial speed ranges from 2400 to 921600 bps, and the same display works with any controller that has a serial port, such as an Arduino or an ESP32 board.
Nextion UART Display 800x480: Power, GPIO and Storage
This Nextion UART display 800x480 module runs from a 5V supply (operating range 4.75V to 6.5V), and a 5V 1A supply is the recommended choice. Besides the serial port it has 8 GPIO pins, two of which (IO6 and IO7) support PWM, plus a microSD card socket for FAT32 cards up to 32 GB and a built-in real-time clock that uses a CR1220 battery. The serial port is a 4-pin 2.54 mm header. Check the signal levels in the manufacturer's datasheet before connecting it to a 3.3V board.
