Weird error I cant find an answer for? [solved]

Projects Programming

I am using the attiny85 to create a rickroll but I am having many many errors some of which include
Error compiling for board Digispark (Default - 16.5mhz).
C:\Users\my name\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\digistump\hardware\avr\1.6.7\cores\tiny/Keyboard."h": Invalid argument

and others that I have fixed, the error codes for them go as follows.

C:\Users\\my name\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\digistump\hardware\avr\1.6.7\cores\tiny/Keyboard."h": Invalid argument


Arduino: 1.8.16 (Windows Store 1.8.51.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Digispark (Default - 16.5mhz)"





















blink_test:2:24: fatal error: C:\Users\my name\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\digistump\hardware\avr\1.6.7\cores\tiny/Keyboard."h": Invalid argument

 #include <Keyboard."h">

                        ^

compilation terminated.

exit status 1

C:\Users\my nameDocuments\ArduinoData\packages\digistump\hardware\avr\1.6.7\cores\tiny/Keyboard."h": Invalid argument



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

and my other error code being


Error compiling for board Digispark (Default - 16.5mhz).

I have 2 sets of code, an attempt at the rickroll itself and a test code in which the second error happens.

#include <Keyboard.h>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

DigiKeyboard.delay(5000) ;
}

 void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

        DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEY_R, MOD_GUI_LEFT);
        DigiKeyboard.delay(100);
        DigiKeyboard.println("chrome");
        DigiKeyboard.delay(500) ;
        DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEY_ENTER);
        DigiKeyboard.delay(500) ;
        DigiKeyboard.print("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvFZjo5PgG0") ;
        DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEY_ENTER) ;
        DigiKeyboard.delay(500) ;
}


#include <Keyboard."h">

void setup()  {


 }void loop()
 {
     DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(0)
        
 }

I have no clue what these mean or how to fix them but all the fixes I have found have not worked, I am very new to Arduino products so I have no idea what I'm doing. please keep your answers simple/easy to understand.
thanks

why is the 'h' in quotes?

if Keyboard.h is a library file it should be

#include <Keyboard.h>

if local, it should be

#include "Keyboard.h"

i don't see an #include "HID.h" in the code you posted. same rules as above apply

I honestly have no clue what keyboard.h is or does it is just in every bit of code I have found or in every answer I have seen. I already have 1 working model but I lost the original code for it. it definitely used digikeyboard.sendkeystroke when I didn't it and it didn't use keyboard.h.
after removing the quotes it has stopped the first issue I have no idea what to do about the second though. it seems I cant do anything with the attiny85 until the issue is fixed because it is across all the attempts I have made.

Where did you get the library and does it work with the attiny85 or maybe only 32u4 and SAMD based boards ?

5

my library? I am about as new as it gets and know only what youtube tutorials can tell me

6

Yes, your library

Have you seen a Youtube video showing the Keyboard library being used with an attiny ?

7

no I haven't I have no idea what it is and as such didn't know it was important until now

8

Have you seen any YouTube videos showing the Keyboard library being used with any Arduino ?

9

only videos on how to set it up which the word library wasn't used as for the coding it's a simple language so I picked it up from a website

thanks so much helibob I have seen you on many posts and you helped a ton, I spent hours trying to find the solution and it was right there. keep it up
