VarSpeedServo.h (6,3,KB)

No. That is why we can not be friends.

You have two files (.cpp and .h) that were in a .ZIP file. To get the .ZIP file, when on the GitHub repository, click on the green button in the top-right that says CODE then DOWNLOAD ZIP. Then try to install the library from ZIP again.

Hi @eduardo_giliard. Unlike Arduino IDE, Arduino Cloud requires all libraries to contain a library.properties metadata file. In order to import this library into Arduino Cloud, you'll first need to add this file to the library.

I'll provide instructions you can follow to do that:

  1. Extract the library's "ZIP" file.
  2. Delete the library's "ZIP" file.
  3. Open any text editor application.
  4. Create a new text file in the text editor.
  5. Add the following text in the text editor:
    name=VarSpeedServo
version=0.0.0
author=unspecified
maintainer=unspecified
sentence=unspecified
paragraph=
category=Other
url=http://arduino.cc/
architectures=*
  6. Save the text file with the filename library.properties in the root of the extracted library folder.
    :exclamation: Make sure the filename is exactly library.properties; not library.properties.txt.
  7. ZIP the library folder.
  8. Open Arduino Cloud Editor in your web browser.
  9. Click the icon that looks like shelved books ("Libraries") in the bar on the left side of the Cloud Editor page.
    The "Libraries" panel will open.
  10. Click the upward pointing arrow icon at the top of the "Libraries" panel.
    The "Open" dialog will open.
  11. Select the "ZIP" file of the library in the dialog.
  12. Click the "Open" button.
    The "Open" dialog will close.
  13. Wait for the notification to appear at the bottom of the Cloud Editor page:

    Library uploaded successfully

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

Have you tried clicking that little yellow pencil in your "deleted" post?

You already know why we can not be friends. Now you know why you are on your own.

I helped you more than you understand. You will some day.

uh do you really think that is enough information?

Please provide a detailed description of what you mean by "didnt work" in a reply on this forum thread, including:

  • What did you do?
  • What were the results you expected from doing that thing?
  • What were the results you observed that did not match your expectations?

Make sure to include the full and exact text of any error or warning messages you might have encountered.
