Apparently I need a little handholding with this. How do I get the python sctript setup correctly? What I have started with is below.
import bibliopixel

bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.DEBUG)
Load driver for the AllPixel
from bibliopixel.drivers.serial import *
set number of pixels & LED type here

load the LEDStrip class
from bibliopixel.layout import *
led = Strip(driver)
load channel test animation
from bibliopixel.animation import StripChannelTest
anim = StripChannelTest(led)
try:
run the animation
anim.run()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
Ctrl+C will exit the animation and turn the LEDs offs
led.all_off()
led.update()
I can not get the drive to work correctly. and I using the correct syntax?

So, yeah, you initially had the wrong LED type. You can also just use a string "WS2812" by the way.
The second error you showed is because it cannot find the allpixel at all.
What’s the output of the following?
ls -al /dev/tty*
Also, please unplug the AllPixel, plug it back into USB, then run dmesg.
Please do so with the terminal full screen, and copy all output that will fit on the screen and respond with it here.

oh…you are using the AllPixel demo. Completely different. AllPixel uses serial, PiPixel uses GPIO/SPI

Depends on what you are doing. We really do recommend using BiblioPixel JSON Project files.
However, if you wanna go pure Python, you still can…
import bibliopixel
# causes frame timing information to be output
bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.DEBUG)
# Load driver for the AllPixel
from bibliopixel.drivers.SPI import SPI
# set number of pixels & LED type here
driver = Serial(num = 10, ledtype = "WS2812")
# load the LEDStrip class
from bibliopixel.layout import *
led = Strip(driver)
# load channel test animation
from bibliopixel.animation import StripChannelTest
anim = StripChannelTest(led)
try:
# run the animation
anim.run()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Ctrl+C will exit the animation and turn the LEDs offs
led.all_off()
led.update()

Nope, for the PiPixel - Note I changed to the SPI driver. Although I just remembered you are using WS2812 which is unsupported by SPI, you need PiWS281X.
Follow this to install the requirements for that driver: https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/BiblioPixel/wiki/PiWS281X
Then try the code below.
import bibliopixel
# causes frame timing information to be output
bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.DEBUG)
# Load driver for the AllPixel
from bibliopixel.drivers.PiWS281X import PiWS281X
# set number of pixels & LED type here
driver = PiWS281X(num = 10, gpio = 18)
# load the LEDStrip class
from bibliopixel.layout import *
led = Strip(driver)
# load channel test animation
from bibliopixel.animation import StripChannelTest
anim = StripChannelTest(led)
try:
# run the animation
anim.run()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Ctrl+C will exit the animation and turn the LEDs offs
led.all_off()
led.update()
Note, you need to move the jumper on the PiPixel to GP_18 for this to work.

Change num to 50 in the driver.
But that strip test only does the first 10.
Try replacing the StripChannelTest section with:

Nope, for the PiPixel - Note I changed to the SPI driver. Although I just remembered you are using WS2812 which is unsupported by SPI, you need PiWS281X.
Follow this to install the requirements for that driver: https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/BiblioPixel/wiki/PiWS281X
Then try the code below.
import bibliopixel

Note, you need to move the jumper on the PiPixel to GP_18 for this to work.

Change num to 50 in the driver.
But that strip test only does the first 10.
Try replacing the StripChannelTest section with:

Oh… sorry, left a c out of RainbowCycle in the import.
No book, but there is a wiki with all the BiblioPixel docs: https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/BiblioPixel/wiki
I’m pretty sure lightshowpi supports the AllPixel directly but not the Pipixel that I’m aware of.
I really do need to learn lightshowpi better so I can see about better integration with our products.

oh…you are using the AllPixel demo. Completely different. AllPixel uses serial, PiPixel uses GPIO/SPI
You need this: https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/PiPixel/blob/master/Usage.md

Below is the output
%Run test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/test.py”, line 8, in

File “/usr/lib/python3.5/enum.py”, line 274, in getattr
raise AttributeError(name) from None
AttributeError: ws2811
Is it different because I using the PiPixel and not the allpixel?

Apparently I need a little handholding with this. How do I get the python sctript setup correctly? What I have started with is below.
import bibliopixel
causes frame timing information to be output
bibliopixel.log.setLogLevel(bibliopixel.log.DEBUG)
Load driver for the AllPixel
from bibliopixel.drivers.serial import *
set number of pixels & LED type here
driver = Serial(num = 10, ledtype = LEDTYPE.ws2811)
load the LEDStrip class
from bibliopixel.layout import *
led = Strip(driver)
load channel test animation
from bibliopixel.animation import StripChannelTest
anim = StripChannelTest(led)
try:
run the animation
anim.run()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
Ctrl+C will exit the animation and turn the LEDs offs
led.all_off()
led.update()
I can not get the drive to work correctly. and I using the correct syntax?

Glad you got it working! Yeah… there’s almost no standardization of connection type or order between manufacturers. In general, just look for the arrow on the strip. Most have it.
