Arduino MASTERCLASS | How to Use Arduino Libraries PART 7

[@3goldfinger]

After banging my head against the wall for a few weeks, didn't know what Libraries and Files was, finally a video which tells it so even I can understand it. Thanks.

[@programmingelectronics]

Trust me - you are not the only one! Glad this could help!

[@HiggsDeposition]

Right on point + no click-bait + educational

[@programmingelectronics]

Great! So glad it helped!

[@andyschrock2759]

Thank you, sir! This is exactly what I needed to get rolling using libraries!

[@programmingelectronics]

Great! Glad it helped - they seriously help speed up development!

[@thekingelectroblade]

So far the best video I found on youtube. You got a sub 👍

[@programmingelectronics]

Thanks a ton!

[@mauricecortens3486]

het is zeer goede uitleg !! ik volg al een hele tijd jullie goede voorbeelden van de ARDUINO groeten ! uit BELGIUM !!

[@programmingelectronics]

Bedankt voor de notitie!

Thanks for this video. I was trying to learn how url encode works. But now I know that I can download a library and see how it works by arduino ide. Thanks you help a DSA student.

You know your the best teacher ever. You should start a school and charge; Teach other teachers to teach one course; Just like you. and I bet you will have everybody signing up for your school. then bundle the package; Tech little chuck at a time; Just like a school. See the way you teach makes it very easy to learn; Like say a drone; and you want to teach PID controller; Do just the P first and create a simple project. then the I project; then the D project ; then put them all to gather. I and other would pay 200 - 500 dollars for How to build a drone/Robot/ and others stuff class

Sometimes you need to look at the code in the library to see things like pin outs etc and if you go to the library folder in the arduino folder inside the documents folder on you pc and look at the C++ source file and header file you can open it to see the code . Usually they will document this in the library manager in arduino but if they don't ..

[@programmingelectronics]

Thanks for adding this Ian!!

[@nickolasdaff6217]

Hello, thanks for tip. I'm just start to dive into arduino programming, is there a way to see descriptions for functions and their arguments inside library? Or i should look for this information on github for downloaded library?

[@warrenscorner]

As always, great video Mike! The syntax of these libraries gets so confusing. Sometimes you need to use a capital letter, sometimes it’s all lower case, sometimes it’s all upper case. Seems like no rhyme or reason to which. I usually try to find an example that works close to what I would like to achieve then copy and paste into my code. If it doesn’t work I’ll play around to see if I can get some functionality.

[@programmingelectronics]

Thanks Warren! Agree on all points, there is a huge variety of styles in these different libraries. I’m usually happy when I can decipher the example sketches and then try to go from there.

[@GunnerAl9]

Wow, I wish I had found your lessons on Arduino IDE weeks ago. I've been struggling with libraries for my R2D2 Droid because I've been misunderstanding the online instructions at Arduino IDE website. I've loaded the libraries .zip files and they're added to the libraries folder, but were not installed to the sketch. Your video was very clear and easy to understand, your voice is paced correctly and easy to understand. A suggestion might be to add something perform a quality review (a check) to ensure the library file is installed by reviewing the sketch. My current assumption is that once I hit "Install" the code gets written into the basic sketch I have up on the screen! Am I assuming correctly? I'm going to go back and start with Lesson 1 of your channel.

[@ChristianDeBelen-jv5hp]

Thank you so much!!I had problems with the DHT 11 sensor library as the commands to import the library has changed over years from the library constantly updating

[@jon_raymond]

Great overview video about libraries! Have you considered a video about "setting up a library" as in writing your own? I echo your thoughts that the Arduino environment has the largest selection of libraries! I think this is due mostly to the open source nature of projects that use it. Other programing environments are more geared towards commercial projects and don't often share libraries they use or build.

[@programmingelectronics]

Thanks for this recommendation Jon!

[@petetomiello4103]

The content is excellent. I learned some great stuff. The moving of everything on the screen is horrible. It's like canned laughter on a sitcom. Messes with my OCD! LOL But I pushed through.

[@reid-qo2sz]

Bigger ??So you string library’s together… or just load each program ? .. eg . Servo library and and controller.. will they just know how to control each other … or do you have to match code to each other .. Great video .. thanks❤.. real bigginer I know nothing..

[@awolyassin5433]

Really, wonderful explanations

[@programmingelectronics]

[@jonathanm9436]

Thankyou. So very clearly explained. Now I know!

Hi from NZ. Really enjoy your tutorials - very informative, please keep them coming. Please can you advise me how you set the default for the Arduino Libraries? Many thanks. Regards Charlie

[@joshuapitong899]

Great help as always.🙌 Thank you.😊

Thank you, sir!

[@FourthWayRanch]

I have some code that requires a library? There are lots of rtc libraries but what is the rom/ ? you can't even use forward slash as a character to describe a library

[@programmingelectronics]

Did you have a link to the github for the code? It looks like a file path...

[@KHIRD]

Hi . really great information. Can you please open a header file and talk about some modifications to discuss structure of header and c files of library

[@programmingelectronics]

Thanks for this recommendation!!

[@steve6375]

Not quite the info I was looking for. So in IDE 2.0, are ALL libraries in the same one folder? What if I have two projects and one works with version 4 of xyz.hd and the other works with version 5 of xyz.hd? How can I use a specific library for each of my projects without needing to overwrite the xyz.hd. Also what does a 'library' consist of - how does each of my projects point to the correct library folder? Does the include statement in my project just look at one folder or can it path to many? How does the IDE know which version I use for each project (file?).

[@drsaif343]

Amazing as usual. But where can I find a list of all new commands for each library with explanation of the syntax for each command?

[@programmingelectronics]

Great question Hisham! It will depend on the specific library documentation. Some libraries have great docs, others...well...non-existent! Here is a place to start for some libraries documention: www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/ But another place to go is check out the library github page (if it has one), and see if they have a wiki, or link to documentation. Hope this helps some!

Awesome...thank you so much for this.

@@programmingelectronics Is there a nice Arduino syntax cheat sheet that you would recommend for a person like me that has just started to learn coding.I found a few on the internet,but me knowing very little about coding isn't sure were to start. Thank you

[@programmingelectronics]

Great question @@J.T323 ! Here is a semi-lame answer :) OK, this isn't a "cheat sheet" per say, but the Arduino reference page is what I use almost every time I code: www.arduino.cc/reference/en/ We have a video on using it here (it's old but still very on point): kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGTLZaOMlKdlesk Also, we have some "cheat sheets" on our website, but they may not be the syntax you're looking for: www.programmingelectronics.com/free-arduino-guides-and-resources/ Best of luck!

How do you know that it’s safe to just download things anonymously off the Internet?

i want to use 2 libraries at ones but they both use pin 4... how can i change 1 of them

Hello,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Is there a Arduino MASTERCLASS | How to Use Control Structures PART 8 ??

[@360_tours]

I think this is now out of date. I used add zip file from the software

[@programmingelectronics]

I think there are 3 different way to add libraries: 1) Sketch> Include Library> Add .ZIP Library 2) Tools> Manage Library (or from sidebar in IDE 2) Then search and add library 3) Add library manually into Arduino>libraries I'd start at option 2, but if you can't find a library, you might have to download a ZIP from somewhere (e.g. github) then you could use option 1, however, if that fails because of naming issues, then understanding that option 3 is what option 1 and 2 are doing comes in handy. Best of luck!
