Hi, I ran into a strange issue with my brand new Sense HAT, when I run the simple script below multiple times random pixels start to light up. I have been able to run more advance programs as https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pro ... -astronaut on it and then it works fine but i can still from time to time see flashing pixels. Could this be normal?

Code: Select all

from sense_hat import SenseHat

sense = SenseHat()

red = (255, 0, 0)
green = (0, 255, 0)
blue = (0, 0, 255)

sense.set_pixel(1,1,255,0,0)

First time script was run:

Second time script was run:

Third time script was run:

Hmm, that should definitely not happen. You could add a clear command at the start of your code to help mitigate it;

Code: Select all

sense.clear()

Are you over-clocking the Pi?
Can you post the output of these Terminal commands too?

Code: Select all

uname -a
sudo vcgencmd version
