Hi there, I am having a similar problem. I have recently downloaded the capacitive sensing library from this link Arduino Playground - HomePage and paste this library in the libraries section in arduino. However when I start up arduino, the following error below pops out :
" The library "arduino-libraries -CapacitiveSensor-3e33f75" cannot be used.
Library names must contain only basic letters and numbers.
(ASCII only and no spaces, and it cannot start with a number)"
So, I have followed the instruction on this page by renaming the folder by removing the "-3e33f75" and still the same error pops out but this time saying " The library "arduino-libraries -CapacitiveSensor" cannot be used.
By the way i am using Arduino Uno and running it on Arduino Version 1.0.5
Is there any other ways to troubleshoot this problem? Your help would be kindly appreciated.
