Mulitple Libraries for LiquidCrystal.h

Projects Programming
1

I am trying to code a robot for my high school class and an error for multiple Liquid Crystal libraries were found. But I only have one installed.

How can I fix this problem?

Error Code: Multiple libraries were found for "LiquidCrystal.h"
Used: C:\Users\bmartinez19\Documents\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal
Not used: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal
exit status 1

That's not an error. It's just some helpful information. You probably need to scroll up to see the actual error.

Clearly you have two installed. C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal is the version of the library that comes with the Arduino IDE. C:\Users\bmartinez19\Documents\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal is the version of the library you installed, which overrides the version that comes with the Arduino IDE.

When you encounter an error you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button. Paste the error in a message here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the toolbar).

This report would have more information with

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Aha! Now you can see what the real error is. Try this:

  • Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries
  • In the "Filter your search" box, type "irremote"
  • Click on "IRremote by shirrifF"
  • Click "Install"
  • Wait for installation to finish.
  • Click "Close".

Then try the sketch again. Hopefully the error will be gone.
