It uses the SPI0.0 interface
Pin#24 GPIO08 CE0 connects to CS
pin#19 GPIO10 MOSI connects to DIN
pin#21 GPIO09 MISO unconnected
pin#23 GPIO11 CLK connects to CLK
pin#20 GND connects to GN
pin#17 3.3V connects to VCC

This problem was sensor-dependent, thanks. It turned out I needed to control the power sequencing so that I could put it into SPI mode instead of I2C mode very soon after powering on the sensor.

Alright, found a solution:
In spi.py I needed to change:
self._spi.writebytes([x for x in buf[start:end]])
to:
self._spi.writebytes2(buf[start:end])
as apparently the 4k limit is baked into spidev where the dotstar library is concerned.

Sorry it's not a complete answer, but my experience so far
using the Python3 spidev library,
I can open /dev/spidev0.0 or /dev/spidev0.1,
I can set the clock speed (noting that this is not a precise frequency, but something like nearest power of two)
I can write data, via Python or directly with echo foo > /dev/spidev0.$N
It comes out on BCM10, BCM11.
