No Module Named adafruit_pixelbuf
polyphonic13 opened this issue · 3 comments
The adafruit_pixelbuf module is not found when running on a 2022 Raspberry Pi 4, with Raspbian OS.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install with
sudo pip3 install rpi_ws281x adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel - Create python script (this was named "eye_lights01.py") that leverages NeoPixel with
import neopixel(orfrom neopixel import *-- tried multiple demo scripts) - Run script with
sudo python3 eye_lights01.py
Expected Result: AdaFruit lights do lighting things
Actual Result: bug thrown from "neopixel.py" script:
...
File "usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/neopixel.py", line 20 in <module>
import adafruit_pixelbuf
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adafruit_pixelbuf'
There's a typo (there is no - in circuitpython) but I assume that's only here, since I can reproduce the issue.
Tested in a venv, it also did not install Blinka (which you probably already had).
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install rpi_ws281x adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel
>>> import neopixel
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/pi/circuit/tests/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/neopixel.py", line 16, in <module>
import board
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'board'
>>> You can install the missing dependency manually:
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pixelbuf
Thank you! adafruit-circuitpython-pixelbuf was the dependency name that I couldn't figured out. I'd tried adafruit-pixelbuf and pixelbuf with no luck.

Correct. That was only in this post. Edited original to correct.
