The Nextion NX8048P050-011R is a 5 inch, 800×480 resistive touch HMI display from Nextion's top-end Intelligent Series. It doesn't need your microcontroller to draw graphics. You design screens, buttons, sliders, gauges and animations on a PC in the free Nextion Editor and load them onto the display. Your Arduino, ESP32, STM32, PIC or Raspberry Pi then just sends and receives simple commands over a two-wire serial link.
The Intelligent Series has much more memory than the Basic and Enhanced lines. You get 120 MB of flash for fonts and images, 512 KB of RAM, a built-in RTC, 8 GPIO pins and support for audio, video and animation. That makes the NX8048P050 a good fit for industrial control panels, machine front-ends, smart-home controllers and final-year projects that need a polished touch interface without loading the main controller.
Key Features
- 🖥️ 5.0" 800×480 display: 65K colours (16-bit RGB565) at 300 nit, with brightness adjustable from 0–100% in 1% steps.
- 👆 Resistive touch: rated for more than 1 million touches and works with a stylus or gloved finger, which suits workshops and factory floors.
- 💾 120 MB flash + 512 KB RAM: enough room for high-resolution images, multiple fonts and complex multi-page interfaces.
- 🎬 Audio, video and animation: Intelligent Series playback support, plus a speaker connector (0.5 W typical, 1.5 W max).
- 🔌 Simple TTL serial: 4-pin 2.54 mm connector, 2400–921600 baud, controlled from any MCU with a few lines of code.
- 🔧 8 extended GPIO: IO0–IO7 at 3.3 V for inputs, outputs and component events, with PWM on IO6 and IO7.
- ⏰ Built-in RTC: keeps time with a CR1220 coin cell for clocks, schedules and data logging.
- 📂 microSD slot: FAT32 cards up to 32 GB for quick firmware and HMI (.tft) uploads without a USB-TTL adapter.
