Hi.
Thanks. Yes, the “install” was missing.

I haven’t tested this on a Raspberry Pi 5. I’ll take a look at that detail.
Regards,
Sara

I identified two challenges using this guide:
1. python3 -m pip gpiozero should be python3 -m pip install gpiozero as it’s missing the action (install).
2. I’m using a Raspberry Pi 5 so maybe this is specific to the new model, but I was forced to run the script as sudo and I had to export an environment variable as well. export GPIOZERO_PIN_FACTORY=native
This is because it would cause an error (missing default pin factory) without it.
