Any ideas how to get my Raspberri Pi to see the blinkstick strip and how to talk to it?

My first thought is that maybe pip defaults to python2 on Raspbian? Try running pip3 install blinkstick to make sure you have the blinkstick library installed for python3. If it doesn’t exist, install python3-pip through apt.
