That would imply that the correct library path should be:What is the name of the *.cpp file and what's the URL for the library download?Wow bill, thanks for the detailed information. I think you exposed the problem.To make sure that no details are overlooked: did you restart the IDE after creating the directory?I stand corrected, my Preferences dialog box does display my "Sketchbook location" just as you described. I can store notes and documentation and other associated files in that folder. I thought maybe I was doing it wrong somehow. WaveHC is one example of this.

Open the IDE and click to the "Sketch" menu and then Include Library > Manage Libraries. Arduino doesn't recognize library.

I wish I could say the same of the IDE. If you put it in a sub-folder, the IDE will not find it. To install a new library into your Arduino IDE you can use the Library Manager (available from IDE version 1.6.2). I'm trying to get a dc motor to spin (gotta start somewhere) and I can't figure out what's wrong with my libraries. Archived. You may need to re-arrange things to make sure that the library files are at the top level of the folder. The Library folder must be at the top level of the Libraries folder.

its 1.6.3, its a library I made myself called Motor.h and I actually did write the include statement in myself too. Does Arduino on Linux require some special setting to find libraries? I'm trying to start with the SainSmart 4x20 serial LCD, and copied the library to the Arduino library: So LiquidCrystal_I2C.h is included.

#include "GHTS_Private.h" will lead the compiler to expect to find that file in the same folder as the file GHTS.ino IMHO it is a big weakness of the simplifcations made by the Arduino system that the normal way to share a file between two programs is by putting it in a library. This is the code I used: int motorPin = 9; Arduino: 1.7.0 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Uno" I find it very convenient to have a separate folder for each project. To get around that you'll need a metadata file.

My Arduino IDE 1.6.5 does not have a "Sketch->Import Library", is that normal?

or the fact that you gave nothing to go with in the first place so I used my wonky crystal ball. I just migrated from Windows to Linux (Fedora 22); the Arduino Blink program is working.Usually, if the include file is named test_file.h, the code file is test_file.cpp and its library directory is test_file. ArduinoMKRGPS - library to be used with the Arduino MKR GPS Shield MKR RGB Shield Libraries Note: Some third-party library repositories have different folder structures.

You'll have issues with duplicate filenames.

I use git for version control on all but the simple sketches and that will require it to be in its own folder also.My own POV is that the current IDE style is just fine for people like myself coming back into electronics.It may not be the answer you were looking for but its the one I am giving based on either experience, educated guess, google (who would have thunk it ! ) ... And #include doesn't work at all. So it actually doesn’t find “Arduino.h” when you try to compile… as before you compile isn’t such a problem*… If it fails to find that include file when compiling then there’s something really wrong here, as that’s provided by the arduino framework, and should be working.

But when I try to compile an example sketch it says . Pretty soon that folder is going to be a huge mess. I've read around the Forum and I thought I had this sorted out.Two or three hours spent thinking and reading documentation solves most programming problems.All of your sketch files should be in one sketch folder or in libraries.Send Bitcoin tips to: 1G2qoGwMRXx8az71DVP1E81jShxtbSh5HpTwo or three hours spent thinking and reading documentation solves most programming problems.Sorry about my  missing the significance of the word Windows really does NOT like spaces in directory names. 1. Arduino IDE doesn't find header file.

Sketches may consist of multiple files, these are shown in the IDE as tabs. I created a small library but Arduino IDE is not finding it. MKR GPS Shield Library. MKR 1000, MKR WiFi 1010, MKR GSM 1400, MKR NB 1500, MKR RS485 Shield, UNO WiFI Rev.2, Ethernet Shield only Library. Close.

The files are just Motor.h and Motor.cpp but it doesn't find them even though they are in the libraries folder – Caleb Jul 29 '15 at 3:30 - Fri Apr 19, 2019 8:58 pm #81916 I'm just setting up a lap top to run Arduino IDE, and installed a fresh copy of the latest - 1.8.9 I went to Sketch=>Include Library=>Manage Libaries=>ESP8266WiFi, and got nothing, so I can't run my IOT sketches on my laptop. Try putting the files in D:\GHTS_Private.Send Bitcoin tips to: 1G2qoGwMRXx8az71DVP1E81jShxtbSh5HpTwo or three hours spent thinking and reading documentation solves most programming problems.In my brief association with the world of Arduino I have been impressed by the quality of the website and its content, and by the speed and quality of the advice people produce in response to my plaintive pleas.
