The “Inserted Section” is the added part to the MMDVMHost Settings file. These are the Nextion Display Driver Settings that affect how the Nextion Display Driver works.
 
At the bottom, when it's finished, we will answer “Y”. It will reboot the Pi-Star Hotspot and the added features of the Nextion Display Driver should begin to work. Congratulations, you just installed the Nextion Display Driver on your Pi-Star Hotspot.

When the Pi-Star Hotspot finishes rebooting, this page should say “Connect” in the middle of it. If that didn't happen, log back in and use the beginning parts of this guide to get back to the “Pi-Star Digital Voice - Expert Editors” menu. Then Click/Tap on the “MMDVMHost”. Then return to the Next Guide Page, Number 14.
