Well deleting literally every file with the word Arduino in it appears to have worked. We are talking 6000+ files (after an uninstall). But, the IDE seems to be back to normal again. I understand that a lot of files...

Well, binned all the files it would let me (except for ones that I obviously want to keep like CAD files etc named Arduino) There were a few it would not let me delete (system) Re-installed. Early signs are good. ...

6.2GB - 61,000 files. That's what a search of 'arduino' on the the 'C' drive has brought up. Uninstalled my *rse

You see THIS IS WHAT ANNOYS ME I uninstalled everything. Deleted the arduino folder in x86. Could find no other associated folders. Then I re-installed version 1.8.19 and it starts up with the file I last had...

Weird that it's worked fine for ages. Uninstalled all of it now.

exec: "C:\\Users\\steve\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\teensy\\tools\\teensy-tools\\1.57.2/precompile_helper": file does not exist Error compiling for board Teensy 3.2 / 3.1. WTF

The Teensy installer doesn't work, can't find lib/version.txt. But I have checked at that file is there. Is it because I am currently running IDE 1.8.18? It worked fine before. The IDE is screwed too, as it...

I have had lots of problems with the latest Arduino IDE. In fact, I find version 1.8.5 to be the most stable for my needs. Higher than that breaks quite a lot of my projects for various reasons. I just wish that...

I think the whole thing is a mess. I only re-installed the IDE a few weeks ago after it corrupted and messed up a whole pile of things. Tonight I went to edit my Teensy 3.2 project and realised the Teensy boards had...

What the hell is going on. OK. The apparently dead 3.2 didn't show up at all in Device manager. Another Teensy 3.2 however did. So I put the 'probably dead' Teensy 3.2 onto my cheapy backup laptop and all is fine....

I am so angry.... dead 3.2? Looks like it for no apparent reason. This project board worked fine for weeks and then I left it a while. Back to it tonight and dead. Just grabbed my last 3.2 from the workshop...

AAAHHHH.... That schematic is wrong. Pin 2 on the output is pin 3 on a DMX lead and vice-versa Swapped them around and now it works (with dmxTx.setRefreshRate set to 20)

In that DMX circuit diagram, there is a 4k7 pullup on the exit of the opto-coupler. Is it possible that the output signal cannot overcome that pullup? I dropped the input resistor to a 100R (maybe that was too low?). ...

Well, I have to admit defeat. I think this may be a timing issue or software related, as I have changed out all the components again, and tested again, and all seems fine. I have read the readme file for the...

Hmm. Doesn't show pin 7 of the opto isolators connected in the schematic or in the 6n137 datasheet. I have built this circuit before on an UNO and it worked. I could try it I suppose

I dropped the opto isolator resistors to 82R (R4 and R6 - transmit and direction). DMX light randomly flashes occasionally. Something still screwy

I converted the images to C and loaded it into Progmem Then I used the Adafruit GFX.h library's bitmap routine and that seems to work well. I used: const uint16_t Border PROGMEM = { 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000,...

Thanks. I will look at that. This is supposed to convert images to C source code..... but of course, it doesn't work https://github.com/bitbank2/image_to_c

These examples are great (such as the https://github.com/bitbank2/JPEGDEC), but they don't appear to show you how to get the images into the flash memory to start with. There always seems to be some critical piece of...

Wow. I have to say at this point I am baffled. Just adding a PSRAM chip to the smaller pads, as I think that will be enough. But I have literally found about 6 different ways of implementing LittleFS and I just...

Thank you Paul. I will look into that asap and report back

We always put the audio board on the Teensy. However in this instance, we didn't have the headroom. Pretty sure that isn't the issue, as we have the problem on several other projects where they are stacked. I am...

No it's not the SD library. Well, maybe it is in this case, but the screeching noise has been a constant on several much simpler projects. At first, we thought it was a power supply issue, but we ruled that out. ...

It is a shame. I do like these modules, but we used them for several large installations on some commercial projects and had nothing but issues with them (those were all 3.2's + audio boards). I am not the main...

OK. Decided these Teensy Audio boards suck. Having so many problems with them that I just can't rely on them. This weird screeching issue is affecting a ew of our projects. Seems to be some issue with the comms to...

Hmm. Not sure how to fix this. I always put a line in to make sure the sound file has finished playing (+ a slight delay), before it tries to retrieve an image from the SD card (where the sound files are also...
