I tried to use it but I get compile errors, is there a special .h file I need

Your nonsense reply does not answer the question posed which was "is there a special .h file I need"

4

is there a special .h file I need

No

Now post your code that causes the errors and the error messages themselves.

You do realize that if people can reproduce your problem they would be able to more effectively to give you an answer.

Would you tell us why you can't following the rules for posting questions?

@rr1024: there's a certain irony about your complaint of

posting the same thing over and over again

in your report to moderators. You sent it twice.

If you want answers, post code - this is the Programming section after all.
Is that plain and simple enough?

wow, really

I'm used to doing DIY's myself, actual DIY ;-), I like to spend the time to figure things out, the proverbial "How and Why" something works.

I can certainly understand that if someone is asking help with a segment of code and asking for help with it but not posting it. However, that is not what was asked at all and as soon as I got the answer I stopped looking for another header file and went back to my code to find I couldn't do what I was asking of the F() maco.

Anyone who uses the web knows that sometimes things get posted twice, especially when one clicks post and the server appears to be "not responding" and they click refresh, hence why on many https they specifically tell you NOT to hit refresh because you could get billed twice.

I did re-read the programming policy, and it does state specifically to always post code, so I guess I'll post code even thought it may not be relevant to my question

If you were trying to do something impossible using the F() macro then your code would be highly relevant.

Policy simply reinforces simple common-sense and courtesy.

The other posters seem to have not noticed you also didn't post your errors either.

Let me summarize your post for you:

I did something (not telling what) and I got an error (not telling what it is). How do I fix this?

Here's my response: do and it will be fixed.

I did a test program, since you would rather get up to reply #6 without following forum posting guidelines.

void setup ()
  {
  Serial.begin (115200);
  Serial.println ();
  Serial.println (F("Hello, world"));
  }  // end of setup
void loop () { }

No errors, compiling for the Micro.

It's not a nonsense reply, because, as I have demonstrated, it works perfectly. Now had you posted your code, we might have been able to help.

Why post here, then?
