Hi all,
Very new to Arduino hoping this is an easy one for you all.
I am trying to find / download a Library called : NRF905.h by electrodragon.
but the only one i can seem to get my hands on is nRF905.h by Zak Kemble.
thanks in advance for the help and i hope i have posted in the correct place.
Cheers
LUKE
Hello lukesb1
Welcome to the worldbest Arduino forum ever.
Take a search engine of your choice and ask the WWW for 'nRF905.h by Zak Kemble' to collect some data to be sorted out to get the needed information.
Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.
This is most likely the code. I downloaded the "Code for arduino" zip archive from this site, and I think I can see where the confusion is coming from.
The archive seems to be at least 10 years old. It is no longer a valid library, and needs some minor restructuring to get it compiling.
It may not be particularly appropriate, but I have repackaged the code from ElectroDragon for you.
NRF905.zip (5.8 KB)
You should now be able to import it like any other .zip library:
Importing a .zip Library
- In the menu bar, go to
Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library...- You will be prompted to select the library you want to add. Navigate to the .zip >file’s location and open it.
- If you’re using Arduino IDE 2, you may need to restart it for the library to be available[1].
The examples compile fine on my machine, in IDE 2, for Arduino UNO R3, but I can't confirm whether or not the code actually works.
Hi Delta_G
Yes thats it but no luck with adding the Library unfortunately.
It seem that what "toddnz" has said may be the case, i was just unable to get the code to add to the library but now that he has fixed the code i get a message saying library in installed but can then not find it or use it.
Please show how do you try to use it. Do you have a code?
At this point i am just trying to add the Library i havent had any trouble manually adding Librarys in the past so i presume that there is an issue with this one.

this is the code that i am trying to use with it but cannot add the library
What does it mean? How you try to add it?
You have included the library header in the code - isn't it enough to use it? Do you get a errors while compiling the code? Please show a full error message as text.
I have tested your code on my machine and it compiles fine.
I would have guessed at a conflict between the ElectroDragon and Zak Kemble library, but this does not appear to be an issue.
Please ensure that the folder of your test sketch contains only a single .ino file. The NRF905.cpp and NRF905.h should not be placed here.
As b707 asked, please post any error messages:
Are you able to compile (green "verify" tick button) the examples sketches, from File > Examples > NRF905 > nRF905_RX ?
Ok i think i have maybe missed something happy to share if this what i have but its not much. I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that once added it would show up in the library manager
im tying to get this project working : https://www.instructables.com/Ultrasonic-Distance-Measurement-NRF905-Wireless-Tr/
so i can retrofit it to my own. if you think it will help I'm happy to share my messy messy code from my project but its not relevant yet i believe.
Cheers
Seeing the library in the Manager is not important. Plaese test is your code compile with installed library?
As you can see it says library installed but then i would expect to see the new library in the Library Manager
To be clear: libraries installed from "Add .ZIP Library" do not show in the library manager.
Although it is not relevant right now, you can read here about finding your manually installed libraries.
Hey guys,
Thank you for your help i have got the code to compile.
was unaware that the new code wouldnt show up in the new library list.
Cheers for the help.
