Problems compiling with arduino due - No such file or directory

Projects Programming
1

So i wanted to test out different codes from the blynk app, doesnt matter the code i use, everytime i try to #include <SoftwareSerial.h> and i compile on the board for arduino due i get an error message. I am certain i installed all libraries correct. Selecting any other board, Uno for example, compiling works fine, but since im using a DUE i cant do anything with that. So here is the error message, i dont understand it at all, The code im trying to compile is from the blynk scetch creator for HC05 connection to the virtual joystick in the app

Arduino: 1.8.10 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Due (Programming Port)"

Why are you using software serial (designed for an AVR) on a Due (which is not an AVR) which has four serial interfaces?

3

Ty for the quick reply, allready read something about that somewhere else, do i need a specific library to make it work for the due? the SoftwareSerial.h comes with installing the arduino ide right?

4

Why are you using software serial when you've got so many hardware serials?

the SoftwareSerial.h comes with installing the arduino ide right?

See my earlier comment about AVR vs. non-AVR

As i said, im using the code from the blynk sketch creator, i could choose the board im using and the code changed accordingly, i just started getting into arduino, Just wondering why it would give me that not working code although i selected arduino due

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SwSerial(10, 11); // RX, TX

#include <BlynkSimpleSerialBLE.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "hSzVK-AEqKNdrnIAKy6v71ftkisvU-al";

SoftwareSerial SerialBLE(10, 11); // RX, TX

BLYNK_WRITE(V1) {
int x = param[0].asInt();
int y = param[1].asInt();

// Do something with x and y
Serial.print("X = ");
Serial.print(x);
Serial.print("; Y = ");
Serial.println(y);
}

void setup()
{
// Debug console
Serial.begin(9600);

SerialBLE.begin(9600);
Blynk.begin(SerialBLE, auth);

Serial.println("Waiting for connections...");
}

void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}

is that code btw

Because the Due is not an AVR.

Ah okay, i think im getting it, so instead of creating virtual RX/TX ports i just need to use the ones on my board and just use these ones in my code aswell, right?
