controlling updown spinner elemnt using pywinauto

Question

I am trying to control the value of a UpDown spinner element with pywinauto. this is my element i want to control:

UpDown - 'Spinner'    (L384, T624, R400, B642)
   |    |    |    |    | ['Spinner', 'SpinnerUpDown', 'UpDown']
   |    |    |    |    | child_window(title="Spinner", auto_id="68226", control_type="Spinner")

I am not sure how to get it's value and set it's value through pywinauto. i have succeded doing it with button element, but the spinner element is not working while doing the examples and help i found on the internet.

my code goes like this:

from pywinauto.application import Application

app = Application(backend="uia").start('smcg2gui.exe')
# app.PololuSimpleMotorControlCenterG2.print_control_identifiers()
stop_motor = app.PololuSimpleMotorControlCenterG2.child_window(title="Stop motor", auto_id="stopMotorButton", control_type="Button")
speed_controller = app.PololuSimpleMotorControlCenterG2.child_window(title="Spinner", auto_id="7995854", control_type="Spinner")
speed_controller.get_value()
stop_motor.click()
print("done")

and i am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\application.py", line 250, in __resolve_control

so i tried doing it with wrapper_object:

from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application(backend="uia").start('smcg2gui.exe')
# app.PololuSimpleMotorControlCenterG2.print_control_identifiers()
stop_motor = app.PololuSimpleMotorControlCenterG2.child_window(title="Stop motor", auto_id="stopMotorButton", control_type="Button")control_type="Button")
speed_controller = app.PololuSimpleMotorControlCenterG2.UpDown.wrapper_object()
print(speed_controller.iface_value.CurrentValue)
stop_motor.click()
print("done")

and got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\uia_defines.py", line 234, in get_elem_interface

    return uia_defs.get_elem_interface(elem, "Value")

    raise NoPatternInterfaceError()
