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

      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

        researched the BCM2835 today if there where any known problems with it.

        You have a link for that?

            I have installed the MMM-Earth module and the same thing happends.

            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

                    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.

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

                          Well, there goes my theory, if the installations are exactly alike.

                                For what it’s worth:

                                Hardware: BCM2835
                                Revision: a02082
                                

                                And I do not have the problem.

                                  It definitely helps. I think we can now eliminate the possibility that the difference in hardware has anything to do with this issue.

                                  Thanks!

                                    @Mykle1 Yes, you’re right. Yesterday I installed the new raspbian stretch and all MM tools manually, uninstalled electron and installed the @beta (1.8.). I wanted to give that a try. But still the same.

                                    As you can see, the problem is there , less or more, over months (with that 50-70% cpu usage). With 2-3 animations at the same time my raspi struggles (raspi2 and raspi3). But a few days ago, there were an github update. Since that update my mirror is unusable. Why?

                                    git pull && npm install
                                    

                                    says, that there was a change in the readme file only. But it doesn’t seem so.

                                        Since you are addressing me directly, I will answer, directly and plainly. I don’t know why your mirror is now unusable. I joined this topic because I was/am interested in determining why some people have this problem and others don’t. We have eliminated some possibilities but not all. I can sympathize with you, having struggled with problems of my own. There only seems to be a handful of people experiencing this problem. I am not one of them but I am trying to determine the cause using what little knowledge I have.

                                          @Mykle1 I’m sorry. There is nothing directly to you. I only try to write as much as I find out in that situation to know as much as we can. I’m very thankful that you’re trying to help (and didn’t have our transition problem).
