Blinkt won't light #6

Closed kuehnd96 closed 2 years ago

kuehnd96 commented 2 years ago

Hello. Thank you for creating this repo and for the time it took to set up. I completed the step to get the code installed on my Raspberry Pi 3B but my Blinkt is not lighting up when I send it an update color command. I will attach some screen shots to this issue of my Azure setup. The task manager in Raspberry Pi OS shows the BusyLight/app.py running. Outside of a bad piece of Blinkt hardware can you think of any reason why this won't light? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Azure IoT hub shows connection to the device.

It appears that commands are getting to and coming back from the Pi.

This is what I get when I open the pending commands link. Pending commands suggest a problem to me but I have never used this Azure offering before.

I am going to dive into my first python experience and see if I can find some code and/or instructions to try and simply light this Blinkt.

My hardware appears to be the problem. I ran the instructions to light the LED's on the Blinkt from the manufacturer and nothing worked. Please close this issue. Thanks.

OK, will close. Thank you for raising this and investigating!
