PinDefinitionsAndMore.h Not recognised

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

I'm a using SimpleReceiver.cpp IRremote 4.4.0 by shirriff and #include "PinDefinitionsAndMore.h" isn't recognized. When I compile it, it says:
C:\xxx\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp.arduinoIDE-unsaved202479-19632-a06se0.b3wv\sketch_aug9a\sketch_aug9a.ino:71:10: fatal error: PinDefinitionsAndMore.h: No such file or directory
#include "PinDefinitionsAndMore.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
exit status 1

Compilation error: PinDefinitionsAndMore.h: No such file or directory

Compilation error: PinDefinitionsAndMore.h: No such file or directory

I have no clue what to do. I added the most recent library to it, which I've checked to have the physical file in it, but it still won't recognize it. Anyone have an idea to fix this?

2

We have seen that bug here before and I also encountered it. The clue is in the path name, see where it says unsaved? Either manually save before compile, or do as most do and set preferences auto save to true.

3

How did you install the library? Do you have that file? Is it on your computer somewhere?

4

Ahhh..yes the new version sort of changed a lot. Post your whole sketch please, I used to include that file in a separate tab but with the library update, I didn't seem to need it after making the changes described here:
https://github.com/Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote#converting-your-2x-program-to-the-4x-version
Even invoking the library seems to have changed

#include <IRremote.h>
to

#include <IRremote.hpp>
5

It was all throughout one of the previous versions of the library, included in a separate tab of the same name and called in the main tab like:
#include "PinDefinitionsAndMore.h" // Define macros for input and output pin etc.
Found it on a backup I have before installing the 2.x.x Arduino IDE:

Really? Is this an IDE 2.x.x bug? I'm going to Preferences now in the new IDE (which I don't love), thanks for the tip.

7

I've not seen it. I have had autosave off for a while now. I compile unsaved code all the time.

8

I figure. But you'd be surprised at the number of people who instead of installing the library go and find the one file on github and just download the one file that matches the include without getting the whole repo and then wonder where the rest is.

9

It was discussed on the forum a few days ago.

10

where?

11

I think this was the original, it manifests several ways but always involves 'unsaved'
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/blank-lines-inserted-at-start-of-sketch-causes-library-errors/1283385/31?u=sonofcy

12

Interesting. I've been compiling unsaved code for a long while now and I've never seen anything like that.

13

Far out, man. CTRL+Shift+P just opened up a whole new world of possibilities of which I was not aware.

14

Agreed, many of us have. I suspect the real bug is deeper in the system, and this is just a manifestation.

15

I've copied the whole piece of code from the simple receive because thats what ive been told to do (im a student) so im not familiar with 100% of it, here it is.

    // Just to know which program is running on my Arduino
    Serial.println(F("START " __FILE__ " from " __DATE__ "\r\nUsing library version " VERSION_IRREMOTE));

    // Start the receiver and if not 3. parameter specified, take LED_BUILTIN pin from the internal boards definition as default feedback LED
    IrReceiver.begin(IR_RECEIVE_PIN, ENABLE_LED_FEEDBACK);

    Serial.print(F("Ready to receive IR signals of protocols: "));

plus, you have to have this at the top of your sketch if you don't already

#include "PinDefinitionsAndMore.h" // Define macros for input and output pin

Note that this was for an earlier version of the library, not sure what your course instructor was using when s/he wrote the assignment, but I don't know if it's needed with the current version of the library.

Hi @1nks1

Because many common Arduino sketches contain only a single .ino file, it is easy to get the impression that a sketch is only a single file. However, this is not true. The sketch is a folder, which may contain multiple code files. So when you find a sketch on the Internet, you must make sure you get all the files of the sketch.

The "SimpleReceiver" example sketch contains multiple files:

  • SimpleReceiver.ino
  • PinDefinitionsAndMore.h

The cause of the error is that you only took the SimpleReceiver.ino file, but forgot to also grab the PinDefinitionsAndMore.h file of the sketch:

The easiest way to open the full sketch is to simply select File > Examples > IRRemote > SimpleReceiver from the Arduino IDE menus. When you do that, you will see multiple tabs in the Arduino IDE editor, one for each of the files of the sketch. Now compile the sketch. You should now find that the "No such file or directory" error does not occur.

You can modify the example sketch and use File > Save As... to save it to a new sketch. Arduino IDE will save all the files of the sketch to the new sketch.

I have that downloaded off github but I'm not sure what to do with it.

The bug you are referring to is only one rare cause of the common "No such file or directory" error, which only occurs under specific conditions. The much more common cause of this error is that the file simply doesn't exist.

In cases where there are multiple possible causes of a symptom reported by someone requesting support here, it is important to avoid immediately jumping to an arbitrary conclusion about which of the possible causes it is, especially when that arbitrary cause is rare when compared to other potential causes. It is good to form a hypothesis, but if there is insufficient data to prove it then we should follow the scientific method and collect data to either back or disprove the hypothesis before proceeding.

Thank you so much, That worked perfectly and fixed it! I didn't realize you could do that with the IDE.
