Crash to black bug FIXED! Version 1.0.1 released! Update your tickers now! :)
Hey all! I know we started off on quite a buggy start, with the main issue being the tickers would crash to black after using them for a few hours. After weeks of testing and debugging, we're very happy to announce that we've finally fixed the bug! We've also fixed the issue of some LED panels showing weird distorted pixels, especially with red colored pixels. Below is a full list of fixes in this update.
Version 1.0.1 - First update
Fixed bugs:
1. Crash to black bug - You can now run your tickers for however long you wish! No more crashes!
2. Fixed high low temperatures not changing to Fahrenheit
3. Fixed stop button not working for screensaver
4. Fixed issue of some tickers having weird distorted LED pixels, in particular red colored pixels.
5. Replaced incorrect Chainlink coin logo with the correct one
Please watch this tutorial on how to update your tickers (Video is also on our website):

Reminders on Using the Tickers
Based on feedback from backers and their first setup experiences, I've gathered some key points as reminder:
- Please restart display after adding in your weather api key, and add a new city to your list after
- Give a minute or two for the ticker to connect to internet after boot (web panel access)
- Crypto formatting: Only display cryptos from the top 500 market cap of Coingecko. And please type the proper ticker symbol, NOT the name of the cryptocurrency. E.g. BTC,USD (not Bitcoin,USD)
- Forex formatting: QUOTE,BASE e.g. EUR,BHD ( View list of available quote and base currencies)
- Do not update the ticker when setting up first time (only update when connected to wifi)
- After clicking join network, please restart the ticker
- When setting up multiple tickers, please set them up one by one. And change the hostname of each ticker so that you can uniquely identify each ticker and access their individual web control panels.
That's all for now! Our next update will most likely be about shipping again. Hope you're all enjoying your tickers! Fee free to send us some photos / videos of your tickers in action, we'd love to report them on our Instagram!
