I've been programming an Arduino DUE with the Arduino program on my MacBook Air (running OS X Yosemite) without a problem, I've even downloaded the SimpleTimer (Arduino Playground - SimpleTimer Library) and the iridium SBD Library (IridiumSBD | Arduiniana) and added them as a ZIP file or searched for them in the manage libraries section. The first one works just fine.
The problem is that the later, the iridium SBD library, uses SoftwareSerial but when I try to manually add the library, it doesn't work. looking for it in the manage libraries doesn't return anything useful.
Since it's part of the original Arduino database, I should add it as simple as doing this #include "SoftwareSerial.h" or like this #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
The problem is that I get the following error message:
"fatal error: SoftwareSerial.h: No such file or directory"
I thought that maybe I could download the NewSoftSerial library which is the base for the original library, but then it gives me this error.
#error NewSoftSerial has been moved into the Arduino core as of version 1.0. Use SoftwareSerial instead.
I've also tried deleting the application and downloading it again, but that didn't work either.
Can Anyone please help me with that problem? I've also reached out at the creator of the IridiumSBD library, but so far he hasn't answered.
Thank you very much for your time reading this.
Since it's not a coding problem I don't think my code is needed, but in any case, I'll explain what it's supposed to do and then add it.
the objective is to make Arduino the bridge between a sensor and the iridium sbd modem, the Arduino receives information from the sensor, Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Geographic Location and so forth, and then sends it via de modem every 30 seconds.
