Display flashing problem

Postby nwuser1 » Wed Nov 18, 2015 10:07 pm

Hello to all!

Have problem with utcomp-pro oled-display, it flashes with frequency about 1 Hz all working time :( , but before shutting down, there is a summary picture about 5 sek. and this is still picture(not flashing).
Does somebody already solve this problem? What can cause like behavior?

Thanks for answers!

Software is checking communication with OLED every 1 second. If CRC is not correct, than UTCOMP module reinitialize OLED display (it will disable dispaly and enable so you will see blink).

1. Are you using standard 100cm tape from set? (the same situation may be on longer tape) Is it not damaged?
2. Are you using original display from set?
3. When did it happen?

Exactly, the longer tape. I changed tape to ~2,4 m tape, because i needed to place it to overhead console.
Is there problem, that resistance from utcomp to display is too big, or some another problem?
Can I somehow overcome it?
Thanks for info!

can i have that update to?
I have changed the cable for a longer round one, to help me place the datalogger in a safer place.
But I also get the flashing

This feature is already implemented in official update. Please update it to latest version. If you have still issue with blinking screen then there are a lot of interferences and you need to use different cable or make shield between wires (one wire can interfere with another wire - that's why stock tape is not round).
