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.

I just updated my map to the newest software after it stopped working.  Despite having the config and airports files saved I still had to go in and redo everything manually. I seem to have everything working except the colors for the flight categories are displaying wrong.  VFR is Red and both IFR and LIFR are displaying as green.  The colors are setup right in the config as is my legend and airports.  Any ideas?

In the 'Sectional Map Settings' there is a setting called 'RGB or GRB LEDs Used' that needs to be matched to the type of LED's you are using. If this is set wrong, you'll get the results you are describing. So I'd suggest changing this setting and trying it. If this doesn't work, let me know. - Mark

That was it.  Thanks. 

 

I am also getting a brightness flicker every 10-15 seconds or so.  I've been experimenting with the brightness setting of the lights (I have no dimmer)  but still seem to be getting the flicker removed link
