   This is the right place to ask for support. Do you get the assertion error with all commands? Try:

   codebug.set_pixel(0, 0, 1)
   

   If no commands work then it looks like a connection issue - I've just had a look at the code and an assertion error is thrown when CodeBug doesn't reply with an ACK. Which operation system are you using? Have you loaded CodeBug with the correct firmware file? It's unusual that you can connect to CodeBug with:

   codebug = codebug_tether.CodeBug()
   

   but not run any commands.

   I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.

   I'm not sure what you mean by the correct firmware file - I used the codebug_tether.cbg from the codebug website, then followed the instructions. I had to chmod /dev/ttyACM0 as before that I got permission denied, but then - here's the full stack trace:

   (venv)jim@jim-laptop:~/PycharmProjects/codebugMixed$ sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0

   >>> import codebug_tether
   >>> codebug = codebug_tether.CodeBug()
