I was working on pybadge when it occurred

Can you post the code that you were using when you got this error, and/or the full text from the stacktrace?

[FoamyGuy]

I tested the sample code from the readme on Edge Badge with 5.0.0-rc.0 and the library from the 20200228 bundle. Everything seems to be working correctly in that case.

[CaffeinatedOpe]

I was using the 4.0 libraries and circuitpython 4.0, and just importing the library using
from Adafriuit_pybadger import pybadger

[CaffeinatedOpe]

I’ll use the 5.0 versions, and see if i have any errors! Thank you!

running libraries for 5, and cpy 5. error code is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

@BlueWolf220 are you running this code at the REPL when this happens?

from adafruit_pybadger import pybadge

Or is it in a file like code.py or main.py?

Also double check that you have copied in all relevant libraries from the newest 5.0 library bundle to your device. Line 138 in the current pybadger_base.py is initializing the neopixels. Possibly if you have the newest versions of the pybadger library but an older version of the neopixel library it could cause this error, so make sure to get the neopixel library out of the newest bundle and copy that to your device.

I downloaded the latest cpy 5 stuff yesterday. I ran the code in a code.py, but used the repel so i could copy paste the error code. also, i have 2 neopixel libraries, one with a larger file size and the other smaller, which do i use?

[FoamyGuy]

@BlueWolf220 You should use the one that came out of the newest bundle. In the latest bundle (20200229) neopixel.mpy file is showing 3.72kb filesize for me on windows 7.

[CaffeinatedOpe]

ok, ill try that.

[CaffeinatedOpe]

Yup! that was the problem. thank you so much for the help.
