Electron CPU usage

custom.css probably

Sad to report; Didn’t seem to solve the problem. YET, It almost seemed like the fade out animation was a tiny bit smoother, can’t say it for sure tho.

@TiemenMoesker bugger, also when you increase gpu memory to a higher level than 64mb default

Also it could still be unsupported in electron or it has to be taken to another element…

I’ve tried 64,128 and 256. No improvement :(

@TiemenMoesker maybe also @Jeff could have a look after his holidays as he is quiet familiar with css and he could check if the stuff I mentioned is valid

I don’t even remember changing this to 96, but it’s been like that since January, and no issues.

@strawberry-3.141 Alright, although I am not sure this has anything to do with css. First, because 99% of the people who have MM2 don’t have this problem, yet the same css. Second, I just found out that it’s not just the Newsfeed and the Compliments. I have installed the MMM-Earth module and the same thing happends. Time freezes, animation starts (not smooth at all, it only shows me one fade frame), CPU usage spikes to 99% and my PI is hotter than a BBQ.

I think it has something to do with the hardware.

My hardware =BCM2835
Revision= a02082

@Mykle1

Just set is to 96, still the same.

My suspicion as well, as previously stated. And just to cover all bases, the only interface I have enabled is VNC. I don’t know if that matters in the least.

[TiemenMoesker]

I researched the BCM2835 today if there where any known problems with it. Turns out there are, I just didn’t understand any of them. English is not my first language and I am a kinda new to the whole Raspberry Pi stuff and all the programming around it.

[strawberry 3.141]

@TiemenMoesker I’m sure thats not the reason for it, but it was worth trying it as a possible fix

You have a link for that?

@Mykle1

Let me try, appreciate the help dude. Best forum i’ve ever been on. Problem is not solved yet, but I am happy there are some more brains in de game to help us out.

That makes perfect sense. If your Pi struggles with the simple compliments transition then it would certainly have trouble with MMM-EARTH. I’m even more sympathetic now because that’s my module! :-(

This is what I found just typing in Rapberry BCM2835.
Not sure if this has anything to do with this problem tho.

I read through both links. I don’t see anything that applies to this problem directly.

For my two raspi3:

Both of them are the BCM2835 Hardware-Versions. First BCM2835 has the problem, the other BCM2835 hasn’t. Wow… :-D

@djsunrise19

So the CPU usage doens’t spike with animations?

Not so high like my first one (100% permanently), about 50-60%. Here is a picture from my ATB, that arrives today. Naked installations, standard config / css / modules. 75% peak. Bad.

@djsunrise19

Sorry to hear that man. I can get mine replaced for free, but I think I get a Pi with the same hardware
