Guys
Loking for advice please
Iam getting a compilation error : AltSoftSerial.h: No such file or directory
I have checked the library directory in Arduinoin and AltSoftSerial is listed under libraries.
any help would be appreciated.
I am using Arduino Nano and HM-10

Thanks oldguyjn

`

#include <AltSoftSerial.h>

AltSoftSerial bluetoothSerial;




boolean NL = true;

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

while (!Serial) ;

bluetoothSerial.begin(9600);

}




void loop() {

char Serialdata;




if (Serial.available()) {

Serialdata = Serial.read();

bluetoothSerial.print(Serialdata);




if (Serialdata!=10 & Serialdata!=13 )

{

bluetoothSerial.write(Serialdata);

}

if (NL) { Serial.print("\r\n>"); NL = false; }

Serial.write(Serialdata);

if (Serialdata==10) { NL = true; }

}

if (bluetoothSerial.available()) {

Serialdata = bluetoothSerial.read();

Serial.print(Serialdata);

}

}

Where exactly is AltSoftSerial.h located on your PC and what is Arduinoin ?

Isn't HM-10 BLE ?

Guys
Thanks for the prompt repliies.
The path is as follows C:\Onedrive\name-Personel\Documents\Arduino\Libraries
Arduino is in the documents Library and AltSoftSerial is in the library directory of Arduino
click on Documents > Arduino>Libraries>AltSoftSerial
hope this makes sense>
Thanks oldguyjn

I am still confused as to what you are saying but it sounds like you have a folder named AltSoftSerial in the C:\Onedrive\name-Personel\Documents\Arduino\Libraries folder. If so, what is in that folder ?

I note that your Sketchbook folder is in the Onedrive folder. I have previously seen reports that this can cause problems, but I am not clear as to what causes it and whether it always causes problems

I am going to try and by bypass one drive and install Arduino directly onto the harddrive when I click on Documents I then click on the Arduino folder and this opens the library folder which is where AltSoftSerial is located
Thanks again for replying to my posts.
