I've tried everything - fatal error: HID.h: No such file or directory

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I have a Digispark Rev 3 clone, and I can't seem to upload my sketch because everytime it comes up with the error message; fatal error:

In file included from C:\Users\user\Documents\Arduino\test\test.ino:1:0:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\Keyboard\src/Keyboard.h:25:17: fatal error: HID.h: No such file or directory
#include "HID.h"
^
compilation terminated.
exit status 1
Error compiling for board Digispark (Default - 16.5mhz).

Everything was working before, but now it has just stopped working, and I have no idea why.
I am using the Digistump AVR board

I've tried:
Reinstalling Arduino IDE (+ deleting the Arduino 15 file)
Downloading the Github USBHost library (Unless I did it wrong)
Updating and downgrading the Keyboard library

I really don't know what to do; I've spent 3 hours trying to fix it.

Is that board even USB host-capable?

3

What does that mean? I assume it would be, as it worked perfectly before

4

Is that the same as a Digistump?

5

Are you sure? The UNO R3 has NEVER been HID!

6

It's not an UNO R3, its a digispark Rev 3 (Which is a clone of the Digispark Rev2/4)

7

Yep, its a clone of the Digispark Rev 2/4

8

What processor does it have? I see an ATTiny85.

EDIT - Did some poking around. The reason that this doesn't work is because you're using the wrong processor. Pick up something with an ATMega32U4.

I'm not familiar with the Digispark.

Does the file HID.h exist at the given location? Note that includes might be case sensitive on Windows systems, not sure; so if you do find e.g Hid.h, it might be the cause.

Note to others: the Digispark possibly has a software USB emulation. Please note that OP said that it worked before.

Yeah, but an error message that says "16.5mhz" raises red flags for me :wink:

Digispark has bit-banged USB and its own keyboard library.

File > Examples > Examples for Digispark / DigisparkKeyboard > Keyboard

#include "DigiKeyboard.h"

void setup() {
  // don't need to set anything up to use DigiKeyboard
}


void loop() {
  // this is generally not necessary but with some older systems it seems to
  // prevent missing the first character after a delay:
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(0);
  
  // Type out this string letter by letter on the computer (assumes US-style
  // keyboard)
  DigiKeyboard.println("Hello Digispark!");
  
  // It's better to use DigiKeyboard.delay() over the regular Arduino delay()
  // if doing keyboard stuff because it keeps talking to the computer to make
  // sure the computer knows the keyboard is alive and connected
  DigiKeyboard.delay(5000);
}
