I have followed the full instructions on my raspberry Pi 3b+ and I am getting this error when running in Thonny “ModuleNotFoundError: No module names ‘board’”. Attached is an image. I had to install the 3 software links on here via venv since otherwise I would get an error saying they were external. Maybe that is co tributo g to the module not being found? Can you help me figure out how to install this properly?

Hi there, @Melissa306290, and welcome to the forum, glad to have you here.
I believe that board is a module in CircuitPython not Python3. You will probably need to configure your Thonny’s environment to run CircuitPython.
Could you please run through the steps in the below link and let me know how that goes:
Thanks for your responde Jane! I actually solved it by installing the software again but outside of the virtual environment by adding a flag to break the external install restrictions.

Oh, well, I’m always down for a novel solution.
Typically you would not want to do so as it can result in unpredictable behaviour in the Pi’s OS, although in this case it’s probably fine.
Glad you got it solved.
