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
My map was functioning well prior to the newest update. Not sure if issue is due to software or hardware problems now.
I have V4.5 up and "working". Legend, dimmer, buttons, sleep timer, no OLED or rotary.
Lights are unstable; blinking at times, dimming, lights not being used on, odd behavior overall. Not sure what log files or screenshots of the PI to share.
I have since started working on the wiring, assuming there was a ground problem. Adding additional grounds (temporary attachment) has not seemed to help yet, but next step is to solder in another ground from the pi to board. I already added additional power and ground from end of LED string to board.
Curious if I have a software issue, chip issue, or what?
Thanks for the screen print. This is showing that the software is working properly. As I'm sure you have seen through out the forum, the issues you are seeing are do to an issue with the wiring. If you have a breadboard as part of the build, then I'd suggest hard wiring those. Also, pull-test each of the female terminals connected to the RPi and be sure it has sufficient friction. I've had to replace these in the past with new ones, which has fixed the concern. As you already know, the ground is the biggest offender. Ensure that the LED's and the RPi share the same ground plane. Be sure they are grounded together and then grounded to the power supply. Keep me informed. I'll help as best I can. - Mark
