Error when using set_led_data(0, data) in Python

This is the example code im trying to use:

from blinkstick import blinkstick
from time import sleep, time
from colorsys import hsv_to_rgb

speed = 1
fps = 50.0
cut = 2
brightness = 1.0

stk = blinkstick.find_first()
cnt = 2

while True:
    data = []
    for i in range(1,cnt+1):
        (r, g, b) = hsv_to_rgb(i/float(cnt*(1.0/cut))+time()*speed, 1, brightness)
        data = data + [int(g*255), int(r*255), int(b*255)]
        #print(int(r*255), int(g*255), int(b*255), i/32.0,)
    stk.set_led_data(0, data)
    sleep(1/fps)

This is the error im getting:

Im using a BlinkstickFlex Chip with 2 Leds attached to it. I used this code with the same board before once and it worked perfectly. I dont know why it doesnt now…

Im also using Pyhton 3.5

I searched around the Forums but couldn’t find any help to my problem.

Please take a look at the issues regarding this at github:

Thank you. It’s working again :slight_smile:

(Also thanks for the fast reply)
