Egg Drop Clue White Screen

Post by OSCEDU2022 »

Hello, I just purchased 6 clues to do egg drop. I downloaded all the codes to one of them and it has sound and everything but the egg on the screen looks whiteish. Is there a way to fix this or does this mean malfunction of the screen?

Have you tried the codes to see if the other ones react the same? Which code did you use?

3 of the 6 that I purchased have white screens. I am using the code provided by adafruit for egg drop.

The screen is white and you can barely see the egg picture.

Try the pre-compiled test UF2 from here and see if it also appears different on those CLUEs:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-clue/arduino-test

You don't need Arduino installed. Just download the UF2 file, double click reset on CLUE to get BOOT folder, then drag UF2 to BOOT folder.

we think this is a weird artifact with gamma correction on some screens, but it is fixable in software we think!

The screen is still white after UF2. Is there anything else to fix this or should I request a replacement?

ok thats really odd - can you flip the boards over and take a photo of the TFT connector? it sounds like maybe they got loose. 3 boards is a lot to have this very rare issue, which makes us think it could be something else. the other 3 boards loaded that UF2 just fine?

These are the ones with the white screen. The other 3 clues work perfectly.
