I receive the following error messages when executing pantilthat.pan(a)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/Pimoroni/pantilthat/examples/smooth.py”, line 11, in

Double check that you have the hat correctly lined up on the GPIO header, and that it is firmly connected.
Try running sudo i2cdetect -y 1
That should get you a 0x15 for the PIC16F1503.

That was it. Thank you very much.
