Describe the problem
Light effects has some stutters and random colored flashes. (Only happens on the board using CLP)
I suspect this may be due to cable length or interference from the 6ish cables with 240v running in them.

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Board: Leonardo Pro Micro
  • IDE: Arduino IDE
  • Version: 0.10.0
  • Sketch: LightingNodePRO

Maybe adding the string:
#define FASTLED_ALLOW_INTERRUPTS 0
would do some changes? (Source(s): 1 2)
I will come back with an update as to if it worked.

Which LED chipset are you using? I'm using WS2812B for one year now and have no problems.
When I had random light flashes, the LEDs were broken.

I am also using WS2812B, but when i use some other driver, it has no flashes.

im guessing a possible reason could also be poor connection between the board and leds? Or from power supply to leds?

How do you power the LEDs?

Did you connect GND of the Arduino with the GND on the power supply?

I power the leds from an 8 amp 5v psu, and i have a common ground between the leds and the board.

also, my leds are running off the psu, while the board is running on usb power

i will try and solder everything directly on it.

Hmm... I think the led data cables were just too long. It seems to have either been fixed, or stopped being so extreme.

Hmm... It's weird. Every time i try and mount it near my other cables, it start to flicker again...

This doesn't sound like a problem with the implementation of this library.
