  You might want to reach out to "support@parallax.com" for help with the micro:bit

  Just one guess though... assuming you've copy/pasted a published example, I wonder if it is for the v3 python version you are using, or the previous v2 ?
  It looks like you've installed the two .py objects into your micro:bit module (cyberbot.py and ping.py), so it looks like some sort of syntax mismatch in that IDE (which is why I wondered if that example was targeting v2 originally, and might not have been updated yet)

  If you solve it, please post the solution back here

  I wonder if that assignment to distance is working ok on the same line as the distance value (of the same name) is queried.

  Does this work instead ?

  while True:
      distcm = ping(16).distance('cm')
      #print('Distance: ' + str(distcm) + ' cm')
      bot(22).tone((distcm*50),50)

  Might be a sidetrack, but on line 6 it seems there's an extra space after bot(22).

  Can you please confirm if the code runs?

  The syntax checker sometimes flags code that is actually correct.

  We have reported these issues to The Micro:bit Educational Foundation.

  But please first confirm if the code still runs once you send it to the micro:bit.

  Sometimes we add some boxes to the curriculum like this one:
