Cannot import library into arduino.cc

Open BartmanEH opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

When I download the link: https://github.com/fmalpartida/New-LiquidCrystal/archive/master.zip And try to import it, arduino.cc complains:

LIBRARIES THAT COULD NOT BE IMPORTED: [] parse library.properties: library.properties not found

To install, using the download link, you need to do some manual steps.

  • download

  • unpack the zip file

  • copy the unpacked master library, into your Arduino libraries folder

    if the unpacked library is called: 'New-LiquidCrystal-master' then copy that entire folder into 'Documents/Arduino/libraries' folder so you end up with a path like this: Documents/Arduino/libraries/New-LiquidCrystal-master/examples

Then, in the Arduino IDE (1.18.x), you can now choose: Menu -> File -> Examples -> New-LiquidCrystal-master -> HelloWorld_i2c
