I'm trying to use an arduino uno and an adafruit sd shield to make a LED light painting sythe.Download Software | NeoPixel Painter | Adafruit Learning System
But the link to the sdfat library results in a 404.
That's an old link. The correct download link is now:
https://github.com/greiman/SdFat/archive/master.zip

Every time I try to download the zip to the arduino IDE it results in saying:"specified folder/zip file does not contain a valid library"
The problem is the folder structure of that library doesn't allow you to do Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library...
The SdFat library repository contains installation instructions:
To use SdFat, clone the repository or unzip the ZIP file and place the SdFat folder into the libraries sub-folder in your main sketch folder.
Here's a bit more detailed installation instructions for you:
- Download https://github.com/greiman/SdFat/archive/master.zip
- Copy the folder SdFat-master/SdFat from the downloaded file to {sketchbook folder}/libraries. You must copy the SdFat folder, not the SdFat-master folder. You can find the location of your sketchbook folder at File > Preferences > Sketchbook location.
- Restart the Arduino IDE if it's running.
