Hi -
I'm not very experienced with Arduino and I am trying to follow an example project with ESP32 Wifi module. I have successfully made a blinking LED so that is a good start.
I wanted to make a simple Wifi web server and so I downloaded a .iso file from github. The file has this line #include <WebSocketsServer.h> which causes a compile error, I suppose this is because I do not have the library "WebSocketsServer" installed. I have tried to search for that library using the library manager but it can't find it. I have searched github for it but also can't find it.
Any suggestions on where I can find this file as this example is useless without it.

Your topic has been moved to the Programming category
Which Arduino board are you using ?
Pleas post a link to where you downloaded this file from
I typed #include <WebSocketsServer.h> as a Google search and the first hit I got was
it seems also to be listed in the Arduino's known libraries
Hello Bob - thank you. I'm sorry for posting in the wrong section. I guess I wasn't sure which section to post my question in.
I'm using the ESP32 DEVKITV1.
The project file came from here GitHub - mo-thunderz/Esp32WifiPart2: How to create a Webserver on an ESP32 with Websockets and JSON
Thanks J-M-L but perhaps I am not getting it but surely the result you got are not the same as WebSocketsServer.h the library that I need.
Don't I need to find the exact library?
Please look at this example code.
https://github.com/mo-thunderz/Esp32WifiPart2/blob/main/Arduino/ESP32WebserverWebsocket/ESP32WebserverWebsocket.ino
It has some documentation in a commented section at the start
// For installation, the following libraries need to be installed:
// * Websockets by Markus Sattler (can be tricky to find -> search for "Arduino Websockets"
Yes and as @cattledog wrote
so the one I shared seems to be the right one
okay, so I should download the zip file from github (I see there is a WebSocketsServer.h file in there among many others) and 'add zip library' from the Arduino sketch menu?
It is more simple to use the Library Manager of the IDE.
