WS2812B + Arduino Uno + Adalight + Prismatik Screen Capture - flashing issue #421

Open PetrLukes opened 3 years ago

Hello,

I have setup mentioned above, and after around 10 mins of usage, I have constant flashing same as on video below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHdZHHp_NBI&ab_channel=PetrLuke%C5%A1

I think it's not Prismatik related, since the flashing is happening also when the program is not running. I'm using the latest version of FastLED with Adalight modification.

Any sort of help is grealty appreciated

  1. did you use the recommended cap between V+ and Ground?
  2. did you use the recommended resistor on DIN?
  3. Warm leds or solder joints?

imho: bad connection. the connection is good enough while the joint is cold and goes worse the warmer it gets.

€ on latest W10 with a already cloned display setting Capture Source under expert settings causes flickering with my ws2812b too. Changing back to default Windows API fixed it. Maybe that applies to your case too
