I am using CircuitPython 6.3.0 on the FunHouse and notice screen artifacts building up over time.
What am I doing wrong? Can I prevent this without full screen redraw each time through the main loop?
1. on startup
2. after ~30 seconds
3. after ~60 seconds

Re: Screen artifacts with CircuitPython
I had been getting a lot of artifacts on a OLED display with CircuitPython. After updating the bootloader, libraries and CP release eventually it stabalized and the noise stopped. If you are already currently on those then try the 7.x + 7.x libs as there has been some more display updates.

Re: Screen artifacts with CircuitPython
I'm pretty sure I've been using 6.3.0, I will try 7.0.0.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have also seen and posted about this as well, I think only on the FunHouse. (I had a similar long-running app on the Clue and I don't remember seeing it there) Good to hear 7.0 might fix it, I'll have to give that a try.
