Another simple question....

Afternoon,

Ok So I have my Pi, ultraborg set up as per the instructions ( https://www.piborg.org/ultraborg/install )
But I am stuck already!
Have done this part - To run through the automatic installer just use this one line in a terminal:
bash <(curl https://www.piborg.org/install-ultraborg.txt)

and get both icons on my desk top but couple issues from here.... the icons do nothing when clicked? Is there something else I should be doing?

Then trying to do the other part of the coding ---
Open a terminal and start a Python prompt as follows:
cd ~/ultraborg
python
Load the library
import UltraBorg

---
I get an error when I do the 'import ultraborg' - See attached

What have I missed?

Python is case-sensitive, this means it is not finding the file.

You need to enter: import UltraBorg
making sure the U and B are upper-case letters.

Didn't notice the uppercase, will make sure I keep a closer eye on that from now on!

Can you advise an example code for my project? Once movement is sensed I want there to be a delay and then the servo moved and then go back to start, at a later date I would also want some sound to be played!

I think the example here would be a reasonable starting point:

You will not need the PicoBorg Reverse library, instead you will want to use the UB.SetServoPosition1 call using one possition instead of 'off' and another instead of 'on'
