Mine is also hosting PiHole and also doing a cron job every hour to test ISP download speeds

I don’t have any processor intensive modules installed.

The maximumEntries setting now applies to each calendar rather than globally. So if you have 5 calendar URLs then you get 50 listings (if the default is set to 10). Before the change it would show the most recent 10 events from all of your calendars.

You didn’t miss it. It is a change with the most recent update.

@kvicksson

Did you put maximumEntries after each URL call like below?

url: ‘https://google.com/public/basic.ics’,
maximumEntries: ‘10’,

@onetwankyfive

Adding the config option after each calendar worked for me. Thanks for the help!

maxTitleLength

I am having the same problem. I updated recently and maxTitleLength no longer is working.

Usually a black screen means that you have an error in your configuration file. Make a backup and remove as many lines as you can. Make sure you have the right GPIO pin. That can be confusing because it is different than the actual PIN number. Make sure you are also looking at a GPIO readout for a Pi 3 as the GPIOs are a little different depending on what version of the Pi you have.

Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.

Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

@cowboysdude

I used these only because they were incredibly cheap and I originally started out looking at MMM-PiLights which uses the same LPD8806 type:
