Hello,

I’ve noticed, since I’m using the On/Off shim on my pi, the temperature has risen quite a lot.  
Before it was below the 50 degr celcius.  
Now is it around 66-68 degr celcius.

I was going to use this on a digital signage project, but it is on a window facing south. so this could give overheating issues?

kind reagrds,  
Christophe

I believe we found that was due to a bug and fixed it very recently, you should try reinstalling the software and it _should_ make a big difference.
