Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hi everyone,

I installed NewPing via Arduino IDE>Skethces>include library> manage libraries - and I still get the same error:

ultrasonic_test:1:10: fatal error: NewPing.h: No such file or directory
#include <NewPing.h>
compilation terminated.
exit status 1
NewPing.h: No such file or directory

Any help please?

This won't really be of any help, but jfyi I installed that library the same way just this very morning to assist in a thread. The examples and an old sketch I brought over from an old laptop compile and run, nae bother.

Hi @ghetc. I'm going to ask you to provide some additional information that might allow us to determine the cause of the problem.

Please do this:

  1. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: ☐ compilation".
  3. Click the OK button.
  4. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
  5. After the compilation fails you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar in the Arduino IDE: Copy error messages. Click that button.
    This copies the full output to the clipboard.
  6. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  7. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code block
  8. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
  9. Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
  10. Click the Reply button to post the output.

Sorry but you posted this in a section that said it was not for your project so I moved it here.
