Final update:
Got replacement (took me some time to send it out),
After soldering the headers - only partial success:
- on boot occasionally some random LED (or three) will start on)
- pivumeter works great, test.sh, et all,
- python libraries - not so:
After running hue-control.py or rainbow.py LEDs are going bezerk.
Even after BTN_ONOFF in hue-control while most of LEDs went dark, there were some still randomly blinking.
Even after calling only phatbeat.set_all(0,0,0,0,0) and show().
No madness after only calling .clear() in script.
But - this time turning off pivumeter ( cleaning up asound.conf as mentioned in msg 4 above )
and rebooting - all python example scripts work OK.
So - it’s the C vs python libraries apparently again.
Some logic leaks out :P
I’m leaving it that way:
Either PIVuMeter, or python stuff, not both at once.
I can live with that.
