[SOLVED] Distance Sensor Error :(

[vincent.serpico]

Code:

import time
import easygopigo3 as easy

gpg = easy.EasyGoPiGo3()

my_distance_sensor = gpg.init_distance_sensor()

while True:
    print("Distance Sensor Reading (mm): " + str(my_distance_sensor.read_mm()))

Error:

Hello @vincent.serpico

Does the code run if you start it with sudo?

(the need for sudo is something we’re addressing but it isn’t released yet)

I disassembled and reassembled the robot, and all is working now.

LOL. Well, there’s one way around it .
Glad you got it working! I hope you have fun with it.
