Hi Don,

I open the Arduino program (latest version) , I've put the library folder for this shield in the Arduino directory ( so comes out in the library list) I go on the list I chose it and once I've on the sketch I click on Upload , (like I did with some samples (blinking led etc etc) but with this I always get error

Tks for your help
