Hi @bk1285 ,

i have implemented my strandtest color wipe test script i am using for led strip error tests as a plugin.

https://github.com/phenze/rpi_wordclock/commit/8dbc07e7877c7b620ae146143325d8602dd9a4b4

Can you remerge it into your repo ?

Hey @phenze,

that's an excellent idea to support during the installation with some testing code.

However, I fear, that someone without a working installation wouldn't be able to select the according plugin.

How about transforming that into a "standalone"-script?

Best, Bernd

Hi @bk1285 ,

strandtest.py.zip

But keep in mind that that errors could also appear after installation. That's why im developed the plugin.
