LCD RGB screen not working

[vnahmias]

Hello, here is my problem : i call

def alertHuman(self,msg):
        setText_norefresh("Light : " + str(msg))

in a while loop and after like 10 iterations it crashes and i have this error message :

File "/usr/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/process.py", line 249, in _bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/process.py", line 93, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "component1.py", line 55, in runHuis
    LCD.alertHuman(value)
  File "/home/pi/grovePiDataSender/IoT-DataSender/Entities/HumanUserInterfaces/GroveHUIs/GroveLCD.py", line 12, in alertHuman
    setText_norefresh("Light : " + str(msg))
  File "/home/pi/grovePiDataSender/IoT-DataSender/Entities/HumanUserInterfaces/GroveHUIs/grove_rgb_lcd.py", line 77, in setText_norefresh
    textCommand(0x02) # return home
  File "/home/pi/grovePiDataSender/IoT-DataSender/Entities/HumanUserInterfaces/GroveHUIs/grove_rgb_lcd.py", line 52, in textCommand
    bus.write_byte_data(DISPLAY_TEXT_ADDR,0x80,cmd)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/smbus_cffi-0.5.1-py3.5-linux-armv7l.egg/smbus/util.py", line 59, in validator
    return fn(*args, **kwdefaults)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/smbus_cffi-0.5.1-py3.5-linux-armv7l.egg/smbus/smbus.py", line 145, in write_byte_data
    raise IOError(ffi.errno)

What's happening here because i have not a single clue

Do you have a solution?

Apologies, this fell between the cracks. Can you post your code? From what you mentioned, it seems you would need to add a sleep command in your loop so that it doesn't look too quickly. Something like sleep(0.5) or even sleep(0.2) but I cannot say for sure until we see your code.

Any update on this?
