Display stops updating after 24-48h

[mcpzi]

Hello,

I'm using a d1 mini with the 0.3.7 firmware (with the luminosity sensor). It's working well overall but I have two issues :

1. After being powered on for 24-48h the display stops updating and I cannot access the web interface anymore, I need to unplug and replug the unit to get it working again
2. The WiFi credentials are often lost after reboot, I need to connect to the PixelIT hotspot to enter the credentials

Thanks for working on this project !

Hi,

I would for both problems basically first zero the flash (with the CleanFlash.bin is included in the download of the Flasher).

And then go to the latest version.

Maybe your problems are already solved.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've first flashed with CleanFlash.bin and then updated to the latest version (0.3.9) but both problems are not solved.

However the display crashes less often but from time to time the display lags a lot (the colon between hours and minutes takes almost 10 seconds to blink). During that time the web interface is still accessible but doesn't show any values (they're stuck on "loading"). Then after 10-20 minutes it gets back to normal.

Hmmm... that's very strange, I haven't heard such a behavior from any other user until now.
I have no idea what the reason could be.
Could you maybe test another d1 mini?

You could also try the new version, which fixes e.g. errors with the clock display.

Thanks ! I do not have another d1 mini right now so I'll test the new firmware

Looks like it did the trick ! I haven't experienced a crashed or lag since the flash with 0.3.10

Yes, very nice to hear!
