What was your code to run this?I think this is fixed in my PR #6

I note you are on linux - I could do with someone testing this :)

Would like to test this, only trouble is, I don't have linux.

I tried to install Linux on my old laptop but the stick is not recognized and I cannot change anything in BIOS as the arrow keys are broken.

Any option to test this through some docker container setup?
