[Solved] Installing Arduino IDE on E:\ hard drive

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Greetings. I installed Arduino IDE on the E:\ drive as my SSHD C:\ has limited capacity. The example Sketches run fine on my Uno. However, I have problems when using an external driver. I'm running on Windows 7.

IDE preferences shows Sketchbook location as : C:\Users\Gerry\Documents\Arduino. As instructed, I installed the #include file (ADXL345.h) at that location to get the ADXL345 accelerometer running. The compiler gives me errors consistent with not finding the .h file.

Is this a know problem? Do I have to install IDE in C:?

Thanks, Gerry

Solved the issue. The ADXL345 driver needs to be located in the library folder, which in my case is in E:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Arduino\libraries.

Hey, the Uno is a great toy. Just wish it had been available 40 years ago. :wink:
