Cannot import library into arduino.cc
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
