I can't seem to get the test sketch to see the libraries for the stepper motor. I have placed AFMotor.h in the libraries folder within the designated folder shown in the preferences, but I am not having any luck. This is my first post to this forum. Any suggestions?
Have you shut down the arduino software and then started it up again. It only sees libraries on start up so any changes you make will not be recognised until next time.
I did shut down the program and that didn't seem to help. I was able to use the software that I downloaded from Adafruit to test the stepper motor, and the stepper motor works. The placement of their libraries matches relative to where my libraries are to my sketchbook. So I know things work I just don't understand why they don't work when I try to write a new piece of software and use the other library with that software even though I make a copy of it for the new sketch book.
