Using a source code from GitHub.

Projects Programming

Hello,

I am trying to download a source code from github but I don't really understand how to upload it to my arduino. Can anyone please guide me in the right direction? I am fairly new to arduino, actually this is my first project. Any help would be appreciated.
here is the link to the code:GitHub - donvanderdrift/arduino-code: Code used to make my Arduino do what I want it to do

Which one? Your improperly posted URL points to a page with two different folders.

Sorry about that. The Calculator's code.

That's a library. You still need to write a sketch to use the library.

Edit: No, you don't. It's a poor library, with the implementation in the header file, but there is a sketch.

What did you do with the two files?

Absolutely nothing yet. I am too afraid to do anything as I stated this is my first time using an Arduino. Can you guide me to what I should do next:)? I have all the hardware wired up I am just waiting to understand how to upload the code to my Arduino.

Absolutely nothing yet.

You can leave the Arduino in a drawer, while you download the source file (which you then need to open in a text editor and copy). Then, paste it into the IDE.

Then, create a new tab, with the name of the .h file, and download the header file, open it in a text editor, and copy the contents. Paste them into the new tab.

You can verify the code without even having the Arduino plugged in.

There are a lot of assumptions in that code about the hardware that you have.

This is what I got.

You may need to change the #include statement, to change < and > to " and ", or vice versa.
