Hey - Finally getting around to your suggestion to try and help the flicker by doing a fresh install. I am follow the instructions and seem to be hitting a roadblock during step 4 of your newest instructions - "First-time installation (recommended)"

   Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

\nCommon fixes:

Ensure the Pi is online (try: ping -c1 8.8.8.8).
If you saw an APT lock error: wait a minute, close other installers, then run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
Re-run this script. It is safe to run multiple times.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Sam

Also if I try to run the project I get this:

ledpi@ledpi:~/LEDMatrix $ sudo python3 display_controller.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

from src.clock import Clock
File "/home/ledpi/LEDMatrix/src/clock.py", line 4, in
import pytz
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytz'

Are you running the legacy rasbian and not the new trixie variant? Double check the readme for the legacy OS - nothing works on the new os yet
