What error message are you getting?

the true motion is that of the little black spot on the right hand wheel.
So it’s no use in conjunction with other parts doing regular $t*360 motion.

This may come as a shock, but you can define a module without curly
braces: just the same way that you can skip curly braces in any other
context, you don't need them if it is a single child.
So module foo(x) cube(x); defines a module that makes a cube. The
example mikeonenine is trying to run is from the BOSL2/examples folder
and it does work. (Not guaranteed---unlike the manual, I don't think
those examples are automatically checked and a while back I found that
most of them were broken.) Note that it's a slow example that may
take a minute to preview.

It appears that you have not surrounded the body of the tree module with {}
For example:
module tree(l=1500,sc=0.7,depth=10)

recolor...
cylinder...
...
}

Meanwhile, progress - of sorts:

I did rename BOSL2-Master to just BOSL2 as per the instructions.
I have restarted my laptop.
What’s missing?
I would be happy with a toothed belt going round two cogged wheels to start with - the basic application in the real world. From there I want to see if it is possible to get the belt crossed and twisted in the middle to drive the wheels in opposite directions.

That is correct, but it still does not work.

I think it means your OpenSCAD is too old. The current stable release,
2021.01, is required. Are you running that version or newer?

I#m afraid I’m still with version 2019.05 !
Are the examples I have tried so new?
Will download the latest OpenScad tomorrow, eyelids keep dropping.
Could well be the answer, will report on success or otherwise, thanks so far!

I am not sure what you mean when asking "are the examples so new".
The BOSL2 library itself requires the latest stable OpenSCAD version,
which is 2021.01. The syntax x^2 does not work in older versions. So
even a trivial example will fail if you use an older version.

A beautiful tree and no error messages. 2021.01 did the trick, thanks for the tip.
The belt looks interesting, the twist could be useful. Will try to re-engineer the code to my requirements, but hope I will not find myself out of my depth. I only need it for one project, but maybe I can learn something.
