I am a teacher in Anaheim, CA. I bought several of the kits for my students to build and then start programming their Arduino Bot. Unfortunately I keep getting the same error message when I verify:
Arduino: 1.6.0 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino Uno"
linefollow.ino:23:45: fatal error: MakeItRobotics.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Error compiling.
I've found the .zip file on the RadioShack website & then created a folder & named it MakeItRobotics. I imported the file named and still can't seem to get it working.
Any ideas? Is there a place that has all of the needed code in it that I can just copy in?
It sounds like it is looking for teh "MakeItRobotics" library, which you should put in a folder with its own name inside the "library" folder of your Arduino IDE.
The documentation with your 'bots must have come with a link to that library. If not, google it, download it and put it in the library folder.
which you should put in a folder with its own name inside the "library" folder of your Arduino IDE.
To be more precise the MakeItRobotics folder should go in the libraries folder of your sketches folder and should contain at least MakeItRobotics.h and MakeItRobotics.cpp
Stop and start the IDE after installing the library otherwise the IDE will still not find it. If you can see the library in Sketch/Import Library in the IDE it is in the right place.
I am sorry if i did this wrong...I hope you wanted the full text on the sketch.
I get the following when I try to verify & upload: Arduino: 1.6.0 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino Uno"
Build options changed, rebuilding all
linefollow1.ino:23:45: fatal error: MakeItRobotics.h: No such file or directory
