Pan and tilt facetracking I/O error

Support

HI, I am super frustrated and have tried everything possible to get this running for a university project.
This is the post I’m following - https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/electromechanical/building-a-pan-tilt-face-tracker

The error i’m getting after I ran everything is

pi@raspberrypi:~/PanTiltFacetracker $ sudo python ./facetracker.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./facetracker.py”, line 4, in
from pantilt import *
File “/home/pi/PanTiltFacetracker/pantilt.py”, line 7, in

self._device.write(data)
IOError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error

is there anything I’m doing wrong here? I’m so confused, I did everything step by step.

I don’t have this pan tilt, but it sounds like the code tries to connect to a port that you didn’t connect.
Did you checked the wiring ?

Are you using a PA9685 servo driver or a Pan Tilt HAT?

Нет, я включаю любимую музыку в наушниках и отправляюсь в полёт. В то же самое время миксую её в голове. Спасибо.
