Hello,

I just got my core.ink. I install the NTP-Clock which can refresh the display without any blink. I added a battery sensor the display with code below. the problem I have is some the number is written on top of previous number and make the number not readable. I tried clear the buffer and it make the display even worse that the time number is not readable.

Could you some point out what is the proper way to write to the display?

thx

void drawBattery()
{

Serial.println("\ndrawBat");
char str[50];
//TimePageSprite.clear(CLEAR_DRAWBUFF | CLEAR_LASTBUFF);
TimePageSprite.FillRect(10,180,90,16,0);
//TimePageSprite.pushSprite();
TimePageSprite.FillRect(10,180,90,16,1);
//TimePageSprite.pushSprite();
//delay(1000);

sprintf(str, "Bat: %.2f V",batVol);    
TimePageSprite.drawString(10,180,str,&AsciiFont8x16);
//TimePageSprite.pushSprite();

Hello,

I just got my core.ink and put the ntp-clock to it and works fine. I added battery voltage information to the screen with code below. Then sometime the battery voltage is written on top of previous number. And it's even worse if I use clear() function. Could any one explain the proper way to draw on the screen without blink and without overwrite.

thx

the schematic of atom lite is the same as atom matrix. why it is suitable for atom lite only?
