Finally... A successful run on a project with the SenseHat!

Dear God,

It took me forever just to figure out how to make my own Noobs SD card due to the latency of a seller (who's name I shall not mention).  I felt a jubilant sensation when the card went in the Pi and the light began to flash followed by a colorful sight on my screen.

 

Well now I've got a SenseHat and am having the worst time attempting to write code in Python 3.  I know that it may seem easy to some, but when I get done writing the code and the damned thing says "syntax error" I get pissed man!

 

It's difficult for me to decipher whether I need to include (and where) spaces when writing code.  If anyone has some advise with regards to this, please contact me!

 

Enough complaining for now.....

 

Thanks for reading,

 

Mark "Tattoo" Steele

    Check and double check your indentation at the start of each line. Python expects specific indentations in the code.
