indeed it does, but it reads just once, I need continuously polling

Edit to add:
My Pyboard is rev. 1
I am running Lenox (latest kernel, whatever that is) and Ubuntu 14.04.1

As anybody that has seen my posts here can plainly see, I am a complete noob at this stuff. I bought the Pyboard in the hopes that i could use it to control a small hobby greenhouse, Temp, ventilation, etc. I have been through all the "beginners" tutorials and feel that I understand but a minuscule ...

Thanks for your help everybody. Dave, your replies convinced me that there was something not quite not right with my system. I booted a fresh copy of 14.04.1 and am now a happy camper.

I have hat the pyboard v 1.0 of some time now. When i first received it, i went through some of the beginner exercises and everything worked fine. I got busy with other things and now several month later i have gotten back to it and i find i cannot write to the main.py file. I am using gedit on ubun...
