Macropad basics example giving errors

[plet]

Hello,

I've taken delivery of a Macropad and I'm trying to work through the examples but I'm failing. I've flashed CircuitPython 7.3.3 then I'm simply trying to get the example documented here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mac ... pad-basics to work.

Unfortunately I'm getting an error:

Code: Select all

code.py output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 11, in <module>
  File "adafruit_macropad.py", line 251, in __init__
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'NEOPIXEL'

Code done running.

Press any key to enter the REPL. Use CTRL-D to reload.

Adafruit CircuitPython 7.3.3 on 2022-08-29; Raspberry Pi Pico with rp2040

I get the feeling there's something fundamentally stupid I'm doing but can't work out what. Any kindly soul able to put me right? Many thanks.

Do you have the correct build of CircuitPython installed? It should be from https://circuitpython.org/board/adafrui ... ad_rp2040/. Note that CP builds are very board specific, not just MCU specific.

I knew it must have been something stupid on my part. Yeah, that's it. I'd actually loaded a Raspberry Pico build.

Many thanks.

You can always check the build in the REPL banner it outputs:
