Blinkstick Flex on Windows crashes on get_led_count()

[dramamine]

This function is working for me on OSX but not on Windows. count = stick.get_led_count() File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\blinkstick\blinkstick.py", line 539, in get_led_count device_bytes = self._usb_ctrl_transfer(0x80 | 0x20, 0x1, 0x81, 0, 2) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\blinkstick\blinkstick.py", line 235, in _usb_ctrl_transfer return self.reports[wValue - 1].get() IndexError: list index out of range

Was debugging a bit, and in this case wValue is 129. I tried hacking at the code but to me it looks like self.reports only has 4 entries, so wValue is way out there. Happy to help debug a bit if you're missing the hardware. As a hacky fix I just changed get_led_count to "return 32" but that's not something I should share with anyone! Basically all the other stuff I'm trying to do with the SDK works fine.

Try to change line 539 like this: device_bytes = self._usb_ctrl_transfer(0x80 | 0x20, 0x1, 0xA, 0, 2)

Yep, that did the trick! What's happening there?

As you can see in your error message you did not change the regarding line in your blinkstick.py. The line number means to me that you´ve changed something more in your blinkstick.py as the line must be somewhere at 538/539.

i have reloaded the original blinkstick.py. and im getting this now: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Blinkstick-stuff/blinkpulse-visualizer-master-3616d2d2eadc92607fc0fd2077aa8c2aa6389392/blinkpulse.py", line 41, in count = stick.get_led_count() File "C:\Users\DJ-Lucas\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\blinkstick\blinkstick.py", line 538, in get_led_count device_bytes = self._usb_ctrl_transfer(0x80 | 0x20, 0x1, 0x81, 0, 2) File "C:\Users\DJ-Lucas\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\blinkstick\blinkstick.py", line 235, in _usb_ctrl_transfer return self.reports[wValue - 1].get() IndexError: list index out of range

Hey Lucas, still no change at the regarding line. As stated in the workaround above: Try to change line 538 in blinkstick.py like this: device_bytes = self._usb_ctrl_transfer(0x80 | 0x20, 0x1, 0xA, 0, 2)

[dj-lucas]

I have tried that but it didn't work for me. I have given up on trying to use the "get_led_count()" function because everything else is working fine so far.

Hey, I can fix that the change you suggested is working, could this please be released in the package?
