Hello,

When I try to execute the examples, I am always stuck with those two lines:

#include <LCDWIKI_GUI.h> //Core graphics library
#include <LCDWIKI_KBV.h> //Hardware-specific library

For some reason I don't understand, I never succeed in obtaining those two libraries.

Could anyone help me ??

 

Thanks in advance,

Herve

It looks like they are in github, use the download zip option then use the arduino Sketch/Include library/Add ZIP library. It looks like they are separate, GUI and KBV

@affordsol After you download the lbraries form github, do the arduino install. See the attached pic for that procedure

@zander I just import them from my Arduino IDE, but the LCDWIKI_KBV.h never succeeds !!

Further more, I am totally lost with the directories of the Arduino: my system runs Windows 11 21H2 but things seem spread out to C:\ and to onedrive !

@affordsol I just gave you the correct procedure. There is no need to know anything about the OS or the directories, it's all automatic if you use the procedures I outlined.

@affordsol I just went to www.github.com and entered LCDWIKI in the search box upper left. In the web editor, in Sketchbook, beside NEW  SKETCH are 2 grey boxes, click the one with the UP arrow at the extreme right. Navigate to downloads, click on the zip file and it will be installed.

I just tried it and did a compile successfully, see attached screenshot. Good luck.

@affordsol I get those errors too, if you look in the code panel it tells you that you need to do some configuration. I don't have a board attached and will not for at least 3 days. Good luck.
