Installing libraries under ARDUINO v.1.05

Projects Libraries

Dear friends,
I am looking to install libraries not included in Arduino IDE v.1.05 : I have followed all the steps so I can see the newest library installed on it BUT as soon as I try to include it into my new sketch it doesn't appear the proper string of code : the row appear empty.
COULD YOU HELP ME? I can install only the libraries included with the IDE ... I want to use other libraries e.g. PID , etc..
BEST REGARDS!!!

Thank you John! I have tried with other libraries with good results but among the ones that I can't succeeded in there is the important library PID : could you help trying to do the same job as me?

I think you need V1.0.1: https://github.com/br3ttb/Arduino-PID-Library/zipball/master

Ciao! Happy new year..unfortunately I cannot install this library because the name contains symbols not allowed to be used as Arduino library...I tried to change the new with the new one but the installation process fails due to the previous name embedded in the core of the library..
Please help me..my Italian mates have no idea to resolve it..

CIAO!!!

Just tested and it works fine if you follow the readme instructions.

  • Arduino PID Library - Version 1.1.0
  • To Use, copy the PID_v1 folder into the Arduino\Libraries directory

Download the library John pointed you to and extract it to somewhere look into the extracted library until you find the folder called PID_v1 and copy that to your arduino/libraries folder.
