Re: Why can't you open cpp files using arduino?

If I make changes to my cpp or h file, how do I get my sketch to use the new file?

Please explain. Where are those files? If they are in the sketch directory, it should straight away work.

I get an error message during compiling of the sketch that there is a conflict. Perhaps it's because I did not rename the cpp file and it's conflicting with another version of the same file. Also, my sketch and libraries are on a server and not on my local c:\ drive, does that matter?

When you encounter an error you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button. Paste the error in a message here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the toolbar).

I see you also started a dedicated thread on this:
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=528330

It's problematic that you're trying to start this same discussion here and there because it will end up wasting the time of the people trying to help you due to duplicate effort. Let's confine further discussion to the dedicated thread.

@Bugman1400, do not cross-post. Do not hijack. Thread locked.
