Examples do not compile #25

Setup

Reproduction of the bug

Installed Arduino's SAMD Boards via the Board manager (I had no luck at all to get CPE working with the Adafruit's AVR Boards manager) Installed the last version of Circuit Playground Library (1.6.9) via the Library manager Run the demo example.

The example won't compile and I Got an error message saying two things (macOs):

  1. /Applications/Arduino/libraries/Adafruit_CircuitPlayground/utility/CP_Boards.h:708:2: error: #error "Please edit Boards.h with a hardware abstraction for this board"

  2. That two libraries were found and only one was used. (I read this thread which clarifies a bit the situation)

Temporary fix

After multiple reinstallation of the board manager and the library, I finally got the examples to compile (with a lot of warnings!) and upload on board by changing the #include directive from <Adafruit_CircuitPlayground.h> to <Adafruit_Circuit_Playground.h> (notice the second underscore).

Suggestion

I am a bit puzzled by that behaviour and wanted to know if I am alone. If not, maybe we could fix that by changing the #include in all examples ?

the latest IDE is required (we recently fixed this bug) can you update to 1.8.5?

gregberger commented 6 years ago

Yes! updating to 1.8.5 did the trick.

I wasn't aware my version of the IDE was two patches behind, sorry for wasting your time

Thanks!
