i'm having an error in compiling my codes. please help, thank you. the error states:

Arduino: 1.8.1 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

C:\Users\CUTE\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ks0108\ks0108.cpp:33:67: fatal error: wiring.h: No such file or directory

#include <wiring.h> // added 18 Sept 2008 for Arduino release 0012

compilation terminated.

exit status 1

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

-this is my code.

The ks0108 library has not been maintained for many years. It will not run with any of the 1.x versions of Arduino.
See the ks0108 library page for alternative libraries:
http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/GLCDks0108
Of course my recommendation would be for openGLCD.

thank you for your reply. what would be the best zip file to download?

4

Whichever you want. I'd recommend the most recent version.See the documentation in the openGLCD wiki for what is in each one.

i include the following in my codes. the compilation is successful but still there's no display in the lcd.

#include <openGLCD.h>
#include <openGLCD_Buildinfo.h>
#include <openGLCD_Config.h>

while those includes could be used without issue, not all of them are needed.
See the included html documentation and the included examples.
You should be running the diagnostic sketch to help debug the connections to the module.
The documentation shows the expected result and describes some possible issues depending on results.

SUCCESS! thank you so much for your help :slight_smile: God bless. :slight_smile:
