Development Tools IDE 1.x

I can't find the right one. Can someone help? it seems like the one I wanted is gone

Hi @hamiesupreme. Please provide more details. We can't help you find the library if we don't know what you are looking for. Are you using some code you found on the Internet? If so, please provide a link to where you found that code. The helpers here might find some valuable context there.

There is a library with a header file of that name in the Arduino IDE Library Manager. The name is "LiquidCrystal I2C by Frank de Brabander". Did you try that one already?

I realize there are other libraries with a header file named LiquidCrystal_I2C.h as well.

thanks for trying to help me! I settled that but I can't install the code into my sketch

It will not be possible for us to help you with that problem based on such a vague description. Please provide a detailed explanation of what you mean by "can't install the code into my sketch", including:

  • What did you do?
  • What were the results you expected from doing that thing?
  • What were the results you observed that did not match your expectations?
    • Make sure to include the full and exact text of any error or warning message you might have encountered.

I cannot find the function to #include the library

What you wrote doesn't mean anything to anyone other than you. You need to start making a stronger effort to communicate. I guess you think you are saving time by making these vague short posts, but I can assure you that is not so. The people who take the time to provide the helpers here with sufficient information from the start often receive a solution within a matter of minutes. The ones who don't do that usually go through days of frustrating back and forth as we try to squeeze the information out of them.

The choice of how this will go is yours to make.

Maybe you could use the KEYBOARD! :thinking:

So which one did you want?

Meaning?

If you have an example sketch that needs to work with the library that you can't find post it here using code tags as described in How to get the best out of this forum ; somebody might be able to point you to the correct library.

Lastly, the usual approach is to install a library, understand the examples and next implement what you need based on the gained knowledge.

I think the OP needs to take a rest and get a copy of the Arduino Cookbook and skim it completely then go back and read sections pertinent to his project. At that point the OP should understand some of the basic terms.
