Thanks on the help so far !!!
The author if the project.... told me to goto version 1.8.9, he gave me a copy of the LIBRARIES and his sketches (as its called I guess...) he had me change a few things tools-boad-board manager- and choose version 1.6.20 etc etc....
so maybe my LAST ?.
this project I guess main file is called 'pushbuttonlinein' and UNDER that it has a lot of other *.ino files like "color","drip","fire" etc....
so I LOAD pushbuttonlinein and when I do that Ill see TABS open up next to it of "color""Drip""Fire" etc....
do I need to UPLOAD EACH tab individually ? or just the "main" one ?
thanks in advance
