pi3 slow and unable to close the program after running

Open kwrngu opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

hi, first thanks for your awesome project. i prefer using pi3 to run the visualization but after program start it used up 100% CPU usage and it make me difficult to close the program too. Other desktop activity also cannot function well. Did you discover that? Anyway to solve this?

Hey, he explains this:

Limitations when using the Raspberry Pi:

Raspberry Pi is just fast enough the run the visualization, but it is too slow to run the GUI window as well. It is recommended that you disable the GUI when running the code on the Raspberry Pi.

Disable the UI to free processing for LED audio processing. I have done this and python is using 31% of CPU and system load avg is below .5, note you'll need to disable GUI from the config file.

@ikirt how is it possible to change between scroll and energy mode without running the GUI?
