No module named Adafruit_LED_Backpack

[Thermo96]

Hello,

Recently, I just bought a 4 Digit-7Segment Display from Adafruit. After connecting the LED pack with my Raspberry Pi 2 I just wanted to start an example code, which is part of the official Code package. Unfortunately, I was not able to run the example Code due to an error, which I could not solve on my one. I would really appreciate, if someone give me a hint or an advise how I can handle this.

Thank you very much in advance!

You probably want the Adafruit_LED_Backpack library (Different source tree) Here

Hope this helps! :-)

hiya - the best thing to do is actually use our new circuitpython library here!
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_HT16K33
you'll need to install Blinka support but then you can just pip3 that repo to install support
