# `nspanel_blank.tft`
|
|
|
|
The NSPanel consist in a ESP32 board (the panel itself, controlling the relays, buttons, communications, etc.)
|
|
with a Nextion display connected to.
|
|
|
|
This Nextion display have an independent controller which also requires a firmware and its settings (the basic layout),
|
|
and this is done by an `.tft` file.
|
|
|
|
When you get your panel from Sonoff, their `tft` file is installed in the Nextion display and using a called "Reparse mode",
|
|
which makes a bit challenging to replace the `tft` file when using ESPHome and then, we highly recoment you using `nspanel_blank.tft`,
|
|
which is just a fraction of the size of a regular `tft` and will make the first `tft` replacement much easier.
|
|
|
|
Once NSPanel's original `tft` is replaced, is much easier to install a new `tft` with ESPHome,
|
|
so you can go directly to the final file (either `nspanel_eu.tft`, `nspanel_us.tft` or `nspanel_us_land.tft`).
|
|
|
|
For more datails on how to install the first `tft` file, specially if your panel still displaying the original Sonoff screen,
|
|
please refeer to the [Troubleshooting TFT transfer](tft_upload.md) guide.
|
|
|
|
## How to install a different `tft` file?
|
|
|
|
Just go to your devices's page (under **Settings** > **Devices and Services** > **ESPHome**),
|
|
select your **Upload TFT display - Model** and then press **Upload TFT display**.
|
|
|
|
## What to do after installing `nspanel_blank.tft`?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have sucessfully installed any of the `tft` files from this project,
|
|
the `nspanel_blank.tft` file shouldn't be necessary anymore and you should be able to always install the final `tft` file.
|
|
|
|
Just go to your devices's page (under **Settings** > **Devices and Services** > **ESPHome**),
|
|
select your **Upload TFT display - Model** and then press **Upload TFT display**.
|
|
|
|
## Additional Tips and Resources
|
|
We have an useful guide for [troubleshooting TFT transfer issues](tft_upload.md).
|
|
Please take a look there first.

|
2. Are updating from a previous version of this same project,
|
|
or coming from another NSPanel customization (which one?)
|
|
or customizing for the first time a panel with original Sonoff settings?
|
|
3. Please share the ESPHome logs from when your panel starts to the moment the upload fails.
|
|
4. Describe what you have already tried.
