Touch Hat Sensor

Post by pbutler »

I've recently started teaching programming in my school using Scratch and the Raspberry Pi. I purchased the adafruit touch hat sensor but can't manage to get it working. When I run the simpletest python program I get the following error
Any help would be greatly appreciated
