I am trying to test my blinkstick on my mac. I have followed these instructions. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/BlinkStick
When I issue blinkstick --help, i get the following.
BlinkStick control script 1.1.8
(c) Agile Innovative Ltd 2013-2014
Usage: blinkstick [options] [color]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i, --info Display BlinkStick info
-s SERIAL, --serial=SERIAL
Select device by serial number. If unspecified, action
will be performed on all BlinkSticks.
-v, --verbose Display debug output
Change color:
These options control the color of the device
--channel=CHANNEL Select channel. Applies only to BlinkStick Pro.
--index=INDEX Select index. Applies only to BlinkStick Pro.
--brightness=LIMIT Limit the brightness of the color 0..100
--limit=LIMIT Alias to --brightness option
--set-color=COLOR Set the color for the device. This can also be the
last argument for the script. The value can either be
a named color, hex value, 'random' or 'off'.
CSS color names are defined
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/ e.g. red, green,
blue. Specify color using hexadecimal color value e.g.
'FF3366'
--inverse Control BlinkSticks in inverse mode
--set-led-count=LED_COUNT
Set the number of LEDs to control for supported
devices.
Control animations:
These options will blink, morph or pulse selected color.
--blink Blink LED (requires --set-color or color set as last
argument, and optionally --delay)
--pulse Pulse LED (requires --set-color or color set as last
argument, and optionally --duration).
--morph Morph to specified color (requires --set-color or
color set as last argument, and optionally
--duration).
--duration=DURATION
Set duration of transition in milliseconds (use with
--morph and --pulse).
--delay=DELAY Set time in milliseconds to light LED for (use with
--blink).
--repeats=REPEATS Number of repetitions (use with --blink and --pulse).
Device data and behaviour:
These options will change device mode and data stored internally.
--set-mode=MODE Set mode for BlinkStick Pro:
0 - default
1 - inverse
2 - ws2812
3 - ws2812 mirror
--set-infoblock1=INFOBLOCK1
Set the first info block for the device.
--set-infoblock2=INFOBLOCK2
Set the second info block for the device.
Advanced options:
--add-udev-rule Add udev rule to access BlinkSticks without root
permissions. Must be run as root.
But when I issue “blinkstick --pulse red” I get nothing.
I also ran this code as well `from blinkstick import blinkstick
for bstick in blinkstick.find_all():
print "Found device:"
print " Manufacturer: " + bstick.get_manufacturer()
print " Description: " + bstick.get_description()
print " Serial: " + bstick.get_serial()
print " Current Color: " + bstick.get_color(color_format="hex")
print " Info Block 1: " + bstick.get_info_block1()
print " Info Block 2: " + bstick.get_info_block2()`
No values got returned.
I am not seeing the blinkstick at all when I go to "about this mac > system report > usb
Please help.
