Libraries don't work

Projects Programming
1

I followed the example on the Arduino site about how to make your own library, and I can't get the Arduino IDE to recognize the files.

Screenshots:
Libraries folder structure (top bar):
IDE settings for project path:

Error message:

Arduino: 1.6.3 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Uno"

sketch_apr19a.ino:1:19: fatal error: Morse.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

Error compiling.

  This report would have more information with
  "Show verbose output during compilation"
  enabled in File > Preferences.

I can't figure out what the problem is, the error says "Can't find Morse.h" but it is right there... I event tried moving "Morse.h" and "Morse.cpp" out of their subfolder, but that didn't work either. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

what file extensions ? 'clion10'
goto folder options. -> show file extensions for ALL file types.

That are the file extentions... I'm not that much of a noob.

On the IDE menu bar, select "Sketch - Include Library". At the bottom of that popup, there should be a "Contributed libraries" section with Morse shown there. Is that correct?

5

yeah, make sure it show up on your 'library' menu item. If not, you put it where you're not suppose to.

If the file extensions are clion10, you really ARE that much of a noob. That means that the file names are Morse.cpp.clion10 and Morse.h.clion10, which readily explains why the compiler can't find Morse.h. It's like looking for a black cat that isn't there at midnight. Impossible to find.

The extensions are really .h & .cpp . CLion is a C/C++ ide I have installed.

As for the other helpful answers, I"ll try them at home tonight.

So, why the f**k did you say that clion10 was the extension?

I meant that the file extensions from the screenshot were correct.

You did restart the IDE, right?

11

We see the error message. Now post the sketch that caused it.

12

Also please select Morse.h in the Windows explorer, get the properties of it, and post a screenshot of that.

#include <Morse.h>

The extension is REALLY .h, I have my extensions always visible, and I'm not a double-extension noob.
Or are you trying to see something diffrent?

I assume that did it, as it worked now (after a pc reboot).

With all due respect, we get people with assorted skill sets on this forum. Until we ask, we aren't sure. Even a low post count doesn't prove anything, we all had low post counts sometime.
