Thunderboard Setup Problems

You will need to write some software to support this project on something other than pubnub. It is open source so you can do that. We stopped supporting pub nub when they changed their pricing plans and have no plans to update this software to use something else.

Greetings:

I am still having problems with my Thunderboard_IOT board/software!
I have followed your instructions and loaded the TestThunderBoard.py and I get many errors, so the program will not run correctly.I correct formatting and indentation errors, but still get other errors now from other modules/files.

I noticed at the top of the TestThunderBoard.py program /usr/bin/env python.
Where should I have placed the.Thunderboard -master files, on my Raspberry Pi?
Perhaps the TestThunderBoard.py cannot find the other required files to operate correctly.
Can you please tell me Where the files should have placed or installed
Thanks
Tom

Iam running python 2.7. I looked up the version once before.
Where should all the files be installed on my computer for the Thunderboard..
Neither program works -=testThnderBoard.py and ThunderBoard_IOT.py
Did read my last message?

Ok, Here is what is going on!
I checked my python version on the raspberry pi and it 2.7.10.
I downloaded the two ThunderBoard programs from the SwitchDoc Labs website but usedThonny to reformat and correct indentations etc.
I then ran the program in Thonny. So did Thonny convert those programs to pyhton 3 or above ??

This maybe the problem?

How can run the python 2.7.1 other than from the terminal?
What program can I use to run the ThunderBoard programs other than Thonny or the terminal?
A little detailed help may help solve this issue
Thanks
Tom

Don't use these IDEs. They do funny things sometimes.

Use the command line so we can see what is going on.
