Hello, i'm new with arduino, and still learning.
what is this mean if i got this error : ESP_LEDMatrix_clock:37: error: 'printStringWithShift' was not declared in this scope

is that library problems or the sketch ?

I'm planning to building internet clock using ESP8266 with led dot matrix MAX7219 .
I got the code from internet,

this is my error messages :

Please somebody help me...
what should i learn first about coding for arduino ?

thanks

Looks to me you need to re-install those libraries through the IDE.

Do you know how to install libraries?

3

Which IDE version are you using?
In some older versions automatic function prototype generation fails when ESP8266WiFi.h is included.

ok i will try it...
usually i just copy and paste the libraries folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries

I'm using Arduino IDE 1.6.9 version.
