No module named pyb

[Theo.D]

Hello everybody,

I just got a Pyboard V1.1 and I'm encountering a small problem... (I'm really a beginner...)
For information, I'm using a Mac and Pyzo 4.4.2 with Anaconda.

My problem is the following : I plug the Pyboard with a micro-USB/USB cable to my Mac, then the board shows up on my desktop. I open the folder (which looks like a storage device and is named PYBFLASH) and there are the main.py/boot.py/pybcdc.inf and README.txt files in it. I double-click on the main.py file and it opens itself in Pyzo. Then, whenever I try to write "import pyb" or "from pyb import ...", I get the following message "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyb' ". I also tried "upyb"/"machine" and "umachine" but none of them are working.

So I would like to know if there is any solution
Thank you for your answers
Theo.D

It sounds like you might be trying to run the files on your Mac rather than on the pyboard.

Pyzo is a python interpreter that runs on the Mac, so it won't be able to find the pyb module.

You need to use a serial terminal program to connect to the serial port and get into the Micropython REPL. Then import pyb will work.
