[@yadusolparterre]

the real video starts at 4:30 You could have made a 1- minute video instead of 11 minute. But apart from that, it's good content.

[@imehandle]

If you are using OneDrive cloud storage and you are syncing your documents, there is a possibility that your Arduino IDE is pointing to some random old location. In my case i unlinked one of my OneDrive accounts and my ArduinoIDE remembered the old location of Documents. It would create sketches and upload them normally, but it wasn't able to include header files (.h). You can fix it by clicking File/ Prefferences/ and then you correct the "Sketchbook location" to your new desired location. In case of OneDrive users, default should be %USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\ . Others have it in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Arduino\

[@GlobalHealthSI]

This worked...thanks!!! Doing a side project [outside PROGRAMMING ELECTRONICS ACADEMY] using IRremote and it was not finding it. Took old one [IRremote] out, and followed your example of SKETCH -> INCLUDE LIBRARY -> MANAGE LIBRARY -> searched for IRremote, found it, and downloaded. Error gone. Will do this with the "header missing" error [as you stated in the past, but thought my IRremote missing was different] get rid of current one and reload. Thanks

[@lawtraf8008]

Thank you so much, you save my life. I was stuck on this issue for hours. The library I needed wasn't in the software's library so I followed your second tip and just type it's name on Google, I downloaded the zip file and then added the file in the Arduino library, the color of it changed instantly from black to orange. I run the program and no mistakes were founded, everything went well. I can't thank you enough.

[@programmingelectronics]

So glad it helped!

[@iandawkins2182]

[@matsudaindustries2530]

Man I owe you a couple beers, been stuck with this problem for hours, I'm a novice but I realized how silly the problem was and how I didn't think of that ( 2nd solution) thank you very much

[@programmingelectronics]

So glad it helped! Sometimes I think it’s the small problems that trip me up the most!

[@annayevchun3519]

Thank you so much, the scenario 2 worked out for us perfectly! My son tried to deal it on his own because it was written on the kit 10+, but looks like it's 30+ hahah. The file in our case was called, say XXX.h, while the folder with the file was XXX-ver.3.h... Have no idea why the authors decided to name the directory differently but it cost us 2 hours to find the answer. Thanks again, you really helped!

[@programmingelectronics]

Glad it helped! Have fun coding with your son!

[@rawana356]

Great explanation. Yet, I already uploaded the libraries and let the software add (include ) to make sure there is no misspelling, however, the error still appears. How could I fix it?

[@HUNTERJUSTFISHING]

Same

[@ScottFerguson16]

I've been trying to upload a library (MaxMatrix.h seems like a common library use with led matrix boards) but I keep getting greeted with an error message saying [] Error: no sketch name [example] Error: no ino file. Do you know what I can do to fix this? I just don't know what wrong.

[@novarampage69]

Hi i have seen you lots of video and it inspires me but today i am getting an issue when i uploded a program which has #include data.h file but in error it shows that no such file what can i do plz provide me a great solution with explanation

[@animangafan342]

so pitches.h library loads fine for the example code however it gives this error when i try to make my own code on a separate new project

[@mikelee1906]

I am familiar with everything you stated in the video. However it did not address my reoccurring problem, When I get an error for a missing file such as kick_int8.h No such file or directory, I add the needed file in a tab. But it is never found. I keep on getting the same error even though it is in the sketch. I have tried to resave. Tried to move the files to the arduino sketch folder. Nothing works. Anyone know why this is? Drives me crazy I can see it right there. Why does the IDE not compile it? I deal with making musical instruments so usually it is a instrument.h I am missing.

[@rajeshmassab]

Same problem here, but no solution

[@palrishabhFoundation]

It helped me solve the issue, it was much easier than going to GITHUB and installing the library. Thankyou

when i type in the libary i need ( RTClib.h ) it is not getting colored. In the video I saw the code the libary was colored blue. pls help ps. I downloaded the libary already so idk whats the problem

[@programmingelectronics]

Quick question, does the library work for you even though the coloring is not there? Or does the library not work?

[@3twic]

@@programmingelectronics i think the library is working

[@Noet-bm2vg]

Do I need to unzip the library to make the sketch work well? Bc i downloaded the lib and install, but it still showed me that error.

[@stiefbeen22]

In the first include brackets are used in the second stringquotes. Perhaps you could mention the difference?

[@ee_16_sourishhalder2]

Actually in c programming if you use an in built header file we use brackets. Ex:#include But if we want to use our own header file made by us we use " " Like #include"my header.h". Hope this helps.

[@Andonchoto]

This is really heplful, but what my ide doesnt find is a ".h" file that is inside the library search folder, how do i show that file to arduino ide?

[@programmingelectronics]

Do the names of the library folder and the .h file match? Is the .h nested in another folder other then a src folder in the library folder? Is there a duplicate .h file in the sketch folder that you don’t want to use but your include statement uses “” around the header file? Just a couple thoughts…

[@sibaramdatta5625]

[@stevesonntag3142]

In one library example, the name was enclosed in < >, and the other example was enclosed in " ". You didn't mention that and I found it confusing. I assume those are interchangeable when calling up libraries?

[@ee_16_sourishhalder2]

Actually in c/c++ programming if you use an in built header file we use brackets. Ex:#include But if we want to use our own header file made by us we use " " Like #include"my header.h". Hope this helps.

[@undercover_cat]

This dude tried to make a 5 minute video in an exhausting 11-minute video just to make money out of many minutes of viewship. Damn !

[@undercover_cat]

@ Completely agree with what you're saying. Although as far as I am concerned, a troubleshooting video as this was should be brief rather than extended. The majority of the people didn't come here because they love this person's content . Instead they came here to find a quick solution to their problem as I did ; and oh boy it was literally if not exhausting, then boring to wait for the solution to come. Additionally, I would say that the phrase : 'Easy fixes' predisposes you for a short and pleasant video, so the actual content has to correspond to the title.
