did you load the example code?
Is it only this library not working?
How'd you install it?
yes i did
yes if i install any library that is not there by default then it doesn't work
from arduino ide
Sounds like an issue with the ide saving libraries in the wrong directory, maybe try reinstalling the ide
i installed ide thrice
but this is happening again and again
Tell me your steps.
To get the library all the way through
@suzen
Steps:
in Arduino IDE.
Go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries.
In the search bar, type LiquidCrystal. LiquidCrystal by Arduino,
then Install.
ok now file>examples>LiquidCrysta> one of the examples. and test it?
the example is not working either
ok so then I would uninstall the IDE, and clean up all of the arduino folders AFTER a full uninstall, You can coocle your os, "arduino folder locations" to find out where they all are.
After you have then try again with a fresh install. did you say it was mac os, or windows?
When you instal a library does a corresponding folder appear in the C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Arduino\libraries?
Make sure the documents folder is not the onedrive one
Be aware that there's at least 20 libraries that are named LiquidCrystal so it can be tricky to install the right one for the example you found
it is windows
okay i will reinstall it
i downloaded the one named adafruit
where this folder?
that is the path, just substitute your <UserName>
thank you so much guys for helping me out , now the libary is working
