Frequent Change to false time #5

Closed arne4 closed 5 years ago

arne4 commented 5 years ago

The LEDs show a wrong time every few minutes or seconds. This false indication lasts less than a second.

Is this behaviour known or what else could it be? Normally I would guess a problem with the wemos, but that should be excluded.

Thank you, Arne

Same problem here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4xsj8hr7YY

I've merged the nighttime/hour gold/colormixing pull requests in the version I am running, then the problem is more visible. It looks like the whole register shifts forward. I think it's a FastLED lib issue rather than the code of this project. I currently use 3.1.6 and you?

ThEWiZ76 commented 5 years ago

I've done a little bit of reading, some people say the issue can occur when the power supply to the led strip isn't sufficient. I have upgraded my library to 3.2.6 and my issue is resolved.

I upgraded to 3.2.6 and changed the power supply (also with direct supply of the LEDs) but unfortunately no change in behaviour....

:( Such a beautiful clock, but currently it is not working!

I just realised, that my IDE tricked me... I thought I updated to 3.2.6, but actually I still stick to the old FASTled library. NOW, I updated and also everything is fine! Thanks for this wonderful clock! Arne
