Weird things with the Dotstar Wing

Post by Bergur »

Hi,
i encountered several weird things with the dotstar wing and just wanted to know why this happens.
I use a trippler with a Feather M0 Wifi, an oled wing and a dotstar wing attached.
If i plug it in my computer with usb, the first bottom dotstar led lights up in bright white.
If i unplug it and plug it in again it stops.
If i load code onto the M0, the dotstar "fills" with white lines, like, say, a progress bar, i thought about address collision or something?
One time i encountered a bug, where i couldnt load code onto the M0 because arduino ide says "Unsupported ARM7TDMI architecture" but only as long as the dotstar wing is connected, just M0 and oled worked. I double checked that the board in the arduino ide is the Adafruit Feather M0. A reboot of my system fixed it, i use newest Debian. So atm i have no problem, its just weird.
