To +improve the speed of resolution please review the following guidelines and +common troubleshooting steps below before creating the issue: + +- **Do not use GitHub issues for troubleshooting projects and issues.** Instead use + the forums at http://forums.adafruit.com to ask questions and troubleshoot why + something isn't working as expected. In many cases the problem is a common issue + that you will more quickly receive help from the forum community. GitHub issues + are meant for known defects in the code. If you don't know if there is a defect + in the code then start with troubleshooting on the forum first. + +- **If following a tutorial or guide be sure you didn't miss a step.** Carefully + check all of the steps and commands to run have been followed. Consult the + forum if you're unsure or have questions about steps in a guide/tutorial. + +- **For Python/Raspberry Pi projects check these very common issues to ensure they don't apply**: + + - If you are receiving an **ImportError: No module named...** error then a + library the code depends on is not installed. Check the tutorial/guide or + README to ensure you have installed the necessary libraries. Usually the + missing library can be installed with the `pip` tool, but check the tutorial/guide + for the exact command. + + - **Be sure you are supplying adequate power to the board.** Check the specs of + your board and power in an external power supply. In many cases just + plugging a board into your computer is not enough to power it and other + peripherals. + + - **Double check all soldering joints and connections.** Flakey connections + cause many mysterious problems. See the [guide to excellent soldering](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering/tools) for examples of good solder joints. + +If you're sure this issue is a defect in the code and checked the steps above +please fill in the following fields to provide enough troubleshooting information. +You may delete the guideline and text above to just leave the following details: + +- Platform/operating system (i.e. Raspberry Pi with Raspbian operating system, + Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac OSX 64-bit, etc.): **INSERT PLATFORM/OPERATING + SYSTEM HERE** + +- Python version (run `python -version` or `python3 -version`): **INSERT PYTHON + VERSION HERE** + +- Error message you are receiving, including any Python exception traces: **INSERT + ERROR MESAGE/EXCEPTION TRACES HERE*** + +- List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach code or commands + to run): **LIST REPRO STEPS BELOW**
