Hi All  
Im deeply frustrated with this.  
I'm trying to send text to a nextion display using serial.  
Inject node fires a function with this code

> msg.payload = 't0.txt="' + msg.payload + '"';  
> return msg;

But alas this does not appear. I have tried everything and it should just work. Here's my outgoing msg.payload from debugNode

t0.txt="Please"  
I have a textbox in the HMI called t0

Thanks in advance  
Rob

Isn't it that al commands that are send to the display have to be [terminated](https://nextion.tech/instruction-set/#s7) with 3x 0xff?

```auto
msg.payload = "t0.txt=" + msg.payload + "\xFF\xFF\xFF" ;
return msg;

```

Sorry, don't have Nextion display anymore to test.

Thanks for trying ☹

Also don't forget that the serial out node may add a closing line-feed character as well, you might need to play with the settings.
