Black screen after update new firmware. 2.4.3

[StonikMCZ]

Hi, after the update was released I uploaded it via the web interface and the LEDs don't light up, if I upload the older FW the LEDs light up again and it works without any problems. Was there any change made in the connection for the new FW? This is a migration from version 2.3.2 to version 2.4.3. this is firmware_v2.4.3_ESP8266_generic.bin

Thank you for the reply.

Hi, do you see anything at all? I also experienced some display issues on Ulanzi after the upgrade: got the boot logo, then the zZz and then nothing - turned out my buttons were unassigned and the clock wasn't waking up from sleep mode.

[StonikMCZ]

I don't have any buttons or sensors. When I connect to the web interface I can see what should be visible on the display but the LEDs are not lit.

[foorschtbar]

Which board do you use? Is you matrix on D2?

[pevau]

I've got the same problem. After the upgrade and every start / reboot I get zZZ and then a black screen. matrixinfo via MQTT says "sleepMode" : true -> black screen. I can't wake it up.

Board: Wemos D1 Mini Firmware: firmware_v2.4.3_ESP8266_d1_mini.bin DIN: D2

Are you using the sleepmode?

Please try factory reset. The sleepscreen is new, but we had many users without problems. i cant catch it at the moment...

[pevau]

Yes, i am using the sleepmode all the time. Unfortunately I have no time to try the factory reset this week. Maybe I can check this next week. I downgraded to the previous version and everything is working again.

[davidlamd89]

I'm also having this problem. Alreaddy tryed to do factory reset bu the proble persists. I downgraded to the previous version and everything is working fine.

Any help?

Thanks

[foorschtbar]

I will try to reproduce it at the weekend.

You guys use the generic esp8266 version?

[davidlamd89]

I've tried both the generic and d1 mini version for ESP8266. Also I'm not using sleep mode.

[foorschtbar]

@pevau which backend do you use? Node-Red, HA...?

[pevau]

@pevau which backend do you use? Node-Red, HA...?

thanks for formatting my comment :-) I am using Node-Red to control my PixelIt and fill it with content. The only use case where I directly control it from HA is controlling the Sleep Mode.

[foorschtbar]

Ah okay. Here is another issue #323, also with HA and the sleepmode. I will try to reproduce it in the next days.

[foorschtbar]

Hey guys, you all have Hassio running?

[foorschtbar]

Please test the 2.4.6-beta release and give us feedback

[foorschtbar]

Please test the 2.4.8-beta release and give us feedback.

[foorschtbar]

I close this topic now. Feel free to reopen if the problem with the latest 2.5.0 release still appears.

[davidlamd89]

I apologize for not responding, I've tried the latest 2.5.0 release, but the problem still appears. I downgraded to version 2.3.2 and everything is working fine.

Do you see the boot animation?

[davidlamd89]

I installed the nodemcuv2 version and it seems to be working.
