Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark

I've been having stability issues with the map since the last update and the map generally sitting for a few months during a move. I've double checked the basic wiring schematic and everything appears correct except I removed the push buttons. I attached a video of what the map was doing after boot. I'm not sure if it's a bad bread board or some of the wires shorting or what. I've gotten the map to work sometimes, but then it'll spaz out randomly too.

Would you mind trying to re-attach the video. For some reason there is only an audio file attached. - Mark

I seemed to fix it by disconnecting pin 2 power to the breadboard. Not sure why though.

Thanks for the video. That's indicative of the LED's not being properly grounded to the RPi. They must share the same ground plane for the RPi to properly control the LED's. So you might double check that they are tied together. I'm glad that removing the one pin seemed to help, but it might be worth another look to be sure all is good. - Mark
