Flickering LEDs

Open apo-egix opened this issue 5 years ago • 8 comments

I started using your software, first of all thank you and all contributors!

Unfortunately i experience flickering of one edge at a time at random intervals. I can't pinpoint exactly when it happens, but its usually just one edge. A friend of mine has a similar setup with more LEDs and has exactly the same problem.

My setup:

  • 17 LEDs (Total 34) per edge (WS2801) on the Upper and Lower edge
  • Raspberry Pi Zero
  • Powersupply 5v 3a

Is flickering like white lighting flickers happening randomly?

I also experienced flicker while I was running Hyperion but I think it may not be related to Hyperion, but rather to the circuit set etc.

Having said thay, do try using DX9 / DX11 modes with different quality settings.

Yes exactly. sorry should have added that it is white!

Unfortunately I haven't found a solution to that one yet. Don't think its related to this software though.

Would love to know the fix you find it.

Hey, we tried different settings but the flickering still exists. I thing its related to the grabber part (maybe an sharpdx issue?)

Having the same issue. It doesn't seem to be the circuit issue. if I set color via Hyperion directly then it stays with no flickering at all.

I don't have the setup running currently so its pretty difficult to test. However, if multiple people can confirm that its happening only with this software and not while setting color directly, that will help narrow down the reason.

Can confirm, without app it has steady and constant color, with no flickering at all. The issue appears only during using the app and it's not constant. Sometimes it could be hours without any problems, but sometimes it's like every minute or two.

I've noticed the same random behavior with the app. I'll try to revive my setup if possible and test it out.
