Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
To solve your immediate problem doesn't strictly require you to use a library - it requires you to use classes. The problem you're having seems to be caused by using a library - probably because the .h file is not named correctly or is not in the correct library directory. While there's no reason you shouldn't be able to put your class in a library - and it would certainly improve reuse of your code in other sketches - you could tackle that task in two stages by putting the declarations and definitions in your main sketch file for initial compilation and testing, and extract the class into a library later once you have got it working.
