Electron CPU usage

[TiemenMoesker]

For now I wish to know if it’s a problem with the PI or the installation / SD. Because if it’s a problem with the PI, at this moment, I can get it replaced for free or get my money back. My main reason buying the PI was for this project and to kill some time (vacation).

Yeah, totally understand. I feel the same. It has to do anything with the transitions. Another screen with the newsfeed module only. You can see cleary, when the transition starts and ends. So frustrating.

This is what I get too, but with both News and Compliments on.

@TiemenMoesker it feels good to get some validation that I may not actually be crazy and there is a problem. Hahaha

[TiemenMoesker]

@wtidwell True :)

@djsunrise19 I noticed that you have had this problem for wel over a year now. Damn. I don’t understand how it doesnt work properly… Used Noobs to install Rasbain, used auto install from MagicMirror homepage, nothing else, yet it doesn’t work.

Yes, but today, after

git pull && npm install

it becomes totally unusable. My “seconds” refreshed every 15 seconds, 320% CPU usage… I don’t know.

I have two of them. The second Raspi 3 (I bought them at the same time) works better. But, as everybody can see, while an animation is working, there are 45-55% peaks (one animation in newsfeed). I don’t think, that this should be.
