Problem adding libraries for 3.2" Touchscreen LCD

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

First of all, thanks for your help in advance....I am a newbie.

I have used my UNO for many apps in the past and I saw Sparkfun had a sale on the Arduino Display Module - 3.2" Touchscreen LCD (Arduino Display Module - 3.2" Touchscreen LCD - LCD-11741 - SparkFun Electronics) It arrived today and I'm pretty excited to try it out.

Using the links on the Sparkfun page, I have tried to download and import the library into Arduino 1.0.5 It says it can not due to the file name restrictions..."cannot be used, library names must contain only basic letters and numbers...."

So that was a fail. So was trying to unzip the folder into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries" folder.

What's a newbie to do?

I'm trying to install these...

If I can get past this, I might have a fighting chance to see the demo programs :slight_smile:

Unzip it to Documents/Arduino/libraries

Do not use the program files folder. You can freely rename the library folder to avoid that error

3

Do not place the whole zip file contents into the libraries folder. You need to copy these sub folders, \Picaso_Serial_4DLib and \genieArduino to the libraries folder.

I'll try that. I have been told you have to be really careful what you name folders in Arduino so when this didn't work from the start....well...

Thanks
