Unable to access .h files

In 99% of the programs that I download I get a message saying "include...h" is missing. I have searched google, forums and elsewhere and while I can find the file when I add it to my program it still doesn't work. There has to be a secret for finding the .h files. Help please!!

So far you haven't told us anything much beyond "I can't get it to work". You'll have to give us useful information in order to get a meaningful answer. Little thing like showing your sketch and the errors you're seeing (with both properly enclosed in code blocks with the <CODE/> formatting tool).

You might begin by reading How to get the best out of this forum and following the advice found there.

Welcome to the forum

The .h files are almost always part of a library and in order to use that library it has to be installed. There are some standard libraries that are installed with the IDE, such as the Servo library

Can you post an example sketch that errors when you compile it because of a missing .h file

Sorry I forgot about the detail needed to solve my software issues. In the meantime I believed I've solved the problem, but will come back if needed. Thanks for your comments.

If you have solved your problem please explain what caused it and how you fixed it so that others finding this topic can benefit
