I've got a strange error pop up when I run the following code but I don't know why. can anyone help me out?
I want the code to download a json file, loop through the number of items in the json file and iterate the quote and author location.
It's giving me an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 45, in <module>
File "code.py", line 30, in main
File "adafruit_pyportal/__init__.py", line 152, in __init__
File "adafruit_pyportal/network.py", line 92, in __init__
File "neopixel.py", line 149, in __init__
ValueError: NEOPIXEL in use
Sample JSON file is:
[{"text":"testtext1","author":"author1"},
{"text":"testtext2","author":"author2"}]
Code: Select all
