Arduino Gift box - Hall effect sensor

Projects Programming
1

Hello everybody,

I wanted to build this gift box for my girlfriend: Arduino Project Hub

I set up all wires and wanted to upload the code.

Arduino IDE could not compile it.

See here: https://www.screencast.com/t/KyWBkf3Nr

Whats the mistake?
I don't understand this because on the instruction there is nothing more mentioned.

Whats the mistake?

The mistake is that you failed to post your code HERE as text and you failed to post the errors HERE as text.

"No such file" should be a big hint. There is a file that is missing or is in the wrong location.

Did you download all required libraries and install them correctly?

By the way, most experts here will not visit another web site and will not work from a picture of an error message. In the future, please follow these instructions to post code and/or error messages:

  1. Use CTRL-T in the Arduino IDE to autoformat your complete code.
  2. Paste the complete autoformatted code between code tags (the </> button)
    so that we can easily see and deal with your code.
  3. Paste the complete error message between code tags (the </> button)
    so that we can easily see and deal with your messages.
  4. If you already posted without code tags, you may add the code tags by
    editing your post. Do not change your existing posts in any other way.
    You may make additional posts as needed.
  5. Please provide links to any libraries that are used
    (look for statements in your code that look like #include ). Many libraries
    are named the same but have different contents.

Before posting again, you should read the three locked topics at the top of the Programming Questions forum, and any links to which these posts point.

If your project involves wiring, please provide a schematic and/or a wiring diagram and/or a clear photograph of the wiring.

Good Luck!

You don't really need help understanding this error message, do you?

Sorry for wasting your time.
It was my mistake there was another file that is needed but it was hidden in the step by step instruction on hackster.io.

I feel a little bit silly that I asked a question that was so obvious.
