Hello

using gpiozero and i'm getting the following error

ImportError: cannot import name Servo

code is below. i copied this from the gpiozero website. any ideas?

from gpiozero import Servo
from time import sleep

servo = Servo(7)
while True:
servo.min()
sleep(1)
servo.mid()
sleep(1)
servo.max()
sleep(1)

Do any of the gpiozero modules work. Try

Code: Select all

from gpiozero import LED

[dannyprior30]

Yes that works. no errors

[dannyprior30]

just did dir(gpiozero). looks like Servo is not a function that can be called.

i'm installing from the latest copy

sudo apt-get install python3-gpiozero python-gpiozero

Are you sure it is version 1.3 that you are importing?

B.Goode, looks like i'm on version 1.2. i run the update script and it says i'm on the latest version. any ideas?

What's your script called? If it's gpiozero.py that will cause this problem, renaming it will sort it out.

Hello all

Turns out i wasn't installing the right version. i will using the install from the gpiozero site but you should use the below install
