Mux Shield error on example

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hello everyone,

I've bought a Mux Shield II and I'm trying to test it on an Arduino Mega 2560.

 

I've downloaded the libary and put in libraries folder just exactly how it's explained into User Guide,

 

The error is in the initializing  of the shield:

How you can see from the image, the shield is not even recognized as type of variable.

In userGuide I can find:

I've also tried to implement:

MuxShield() muxShield;

using the parentesys but I got the same error.

 

Can someone help me?

Thank you very much!!!

    Hello Alessandro.

     

    Have you installed the library?

    It needs to reside in the Arduino/Libraries directory before it can be used.

    Just copy the entire MuxShield directory over and then restart the Arduino IDE.

    And I've restarted te IDE various times, but it doesn't work. I don't really figure out the reason :-(

    Do you have an Arduino directory in "My Documents"?

    Yes, I have, and after th error, I've put the library there also.

    The double directory is due to the presence of the library in both Programs>Arduino>librariers and also into Documents>Arduino>libraries.

     

    But this ad I've done only after the error (restarting the IDE) many and many times...
