"No backend available" error, *I'm a python beginner*

[niallodowd]

Hi There,

I'm having issues simply getting initial commands through to my DLP350 LC4500. I was able to pip install pycrafter4500, and import it successfully, but when I call pycrafter4500.power_up() I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in pycrafter4500.power_up()

File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pycrafter4500\pycrafter4500.py", line 574, in power_up with connect_usb() as lcr:

File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\contextlib.py", line 112, in enter return next(self.gen)

File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pycrafter4500\pycrafter4500.py", line 87, in connect_usb device = usb.core.find(idVendor=0x0451, idProduct=0x6401)

File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\usb\core.py", line 1299, in find raise NoBackendError('No backend available')

NoBackendError: No backend available

I'm convinced that this issue may be trivial for this community, so please help me! Thanks so much!
