Hi!

Leider taucht das matrix time plugin nirgends auf. Auch mit den Tasten lässt es sich nicht auswählen. in der config ist es aber aktiviert

bk1285 commented 4 years ago

strange.... wie sieht's mit anderen Plugins aus? Die funktionieren? Gibt es irgendwelche Fehlermeldungen auf der Konsole?

Best, Bernd

webdisaster commented 4 years ago

Hi und Damke für die Hilfe. Die Fehlermeldung beim Start lautet: Failed to import plugin time_matrix!

Hi there, I also started to build one; total noob regarding to linux and python. Managed to get most of the plugins loaded; running on rasbian stretch 13-11-2018. When i run the program, the minute-lights seem to work properly, but the lights of the WCA seem to light up randomly (should be dutch), they change every 5 mintes, but there is nog recognisable pattern; could this be reated with the "Failed to import time_matrix"-error?

I doubt that your issue is related to the failure to load the plugin. IMO it could be related to two things: 1) Incorrect addressing of the LED's Can you make sure the routing of the LED's is per the instructions? So check for mirroring or rotation. Do the minute LED's turn on in the correct order? Top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. 2) Hardware (noise) issue In this case one would expect random LED's to turn on, in random colours. And the minute-LED's would also be affected.

Hm…

  1. My order: bottom-right, top-left, bottom left, top-right. So that’s defentely not good. Should I choose another wiring layout? Or rebuild the minute leds?
  2. Seems ok. All lights are white, no random colours

Thank you for your help!

AAAH.

Figgured it out allready… My clock measures 10X11 instead of 10X11….

Thanks very much

Opgelost dus?

Sofradex commented 3 years ago

Ja, tenminste dat denk ik.

Ga de ledjes helemaal opnieuw leggen. Dat was in ieder geval niet goed. Weet niet of daarmee het “failed to import time_matrix” probleem is opgelost, maar dat zien we dan wel. Heb er goede hoop op.

Groeten, Hein

Hoi Hein,

Het “failed to import time_matrix” zal daarmee niet opgelost zijn. Zal wel eens kijken of ik het probleem kan vinden.

Mvg, Frank.

Sofradex commented 3 years ago

Ik heb bij het installeren de installer.sh gebruikt; misschien had ik dat niet moeten doen?

@webdisaster @Sofradex I just created a pull request to fix this issue. If needed you can also make this change locally (replacing a TAB with spaces)..

Sofradex commented 3 years ago

Got it all working now, special thanks to Frank!

FrankX0 commented 3 years ago

Good to hear! @bk1285 can you merge pull request #168 so we can close this issue?

bk1285 commented 3 years ago

Nice, @FrankX0!
