Did you verify that file exists on your PC?

Please do this:

  • File > Preferences > Show verbose output during: > compilation (check) > OK
  • Sketch > Verify/Compile
  • After the compilation fails you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button.
  • Paste the error messages in a reply here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the forum toolbar).

If the length of the output exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, save it in a txt file and post it here as an attachment. If you click the "Reply" button you'll see the "Attachments and other options" link.
