I'm currently trying to make a keyboard with four arrow keys and an enter key. I am using Arduinos keyboard library Version 1.0.6 and an Arduino UNO R3 for this.
When I compile my code I get some errors and I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. The other posts on this subject didn't help me either.
Here's the code (I cut out the else ifs for the other four buttons in the loop function):
#include <Keyboard.h>
Keyboard kb;
void setup() {
for(int i = 2; i < 7; i++) {
pinMode(i, INPUT_PULLUP);
}
kb.begin();
}
void loop() {
if(digitalRead(2) == LOW) {
kb.press(KEY_LEFT_ARROW);
delay(250);
kb.release();
}
}
When I try to compile this code I get these errors:
In file included from /home/user/Dokumente/Arduino/Sketches2/sketch_Keyboard/sketch_Keyboard.ino:1:0:

kb.press(KEY_LEFT_ARROW);

//I left out the errors for the rest of the buttons here
exit status 1
‘Keyboard’ does not name a type
When I change #include <Keyboard.h> to #include <HID.h> the first error goes away but everything else stays.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
