Blink(1) gets slower when application is minimized #344

Closed angelrcastaneda closed 5 years ago

Version: 2.2.2 Electron/Node/Chromium: 4.2.3/10.11.0/69.0.3497.128

The Blink(1) USB LED blinks slower when you minimize the Blink1Control2 application.

I'm testing this with a pattern that's 0.1 s on, 0.1 s off, but it also does the same with one of the built-in patterns ("green flash").

The issue does not happen if you lose focus on the Blink1Control2 window, only once minimized.

Hi @angelrcastaneda, What OS are you on?

angelrcastaneda commented 5 years ago

Hey @todbot - I'm on Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit.

I've disabled battery optimization for the app, as well as unchecking "allow Windows to decide when this app can run in the background".

Hi, About how much slower are you seeing? That is, is it twice as slow or just a little slower? There's two different potential issues and I'd like to know which to focus on first.

Ah nevermind, I think have I have a recreation of it on Windows. Doing some tests now...

Hi I'm closing this issue since it's about Blink1Control.
Further effort at https://github.com/todbot/Blink1Control2/issues/115 But I think I have fix. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

@todbot That's great - Let me know if there's anything I can provide.

Hi @angelrcastaneda New version is up at: https://github.com/todbot/Blink1Control2/releases Hopefully that update solves the issue. Thanks!

angelrcastaneda commented 5 years ago

Awesome. I'll check it out once I'm back in the office later this week.

angelrcastaneda commented 5 years ago

Confirmed working. Thank you.
