I am trying to include this library in my Arduino IDE. but it shows the error stated above. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

What zip file? How are you including it?

saimazaidi08 commented 1 year ago

I downloaded the code .zip file folder provided on https://github.com/melexis/mlx90632-library here. As we usually include the library in IDE, I went on the Sketch>include library>add .Zip library > selected mlx90632-library-master (name of the folder I just downloaded). and then IDE shows Specified folder/zip file does not contain a valid library

This repo is not an arduino compatible library(it is platform and MCU agnostic). (the ZIP is probably a github feature, not a file inside of this repo) Follow the manual at https://melexis.github.io/mlx90632-library/ And also you can be inspired by our Melexis I2C Stick project, especially to code the I2C routines. https://github.com/melexis/i2c-stick

It is not meant as Arduino library, but we could get Continuous Integration to output the requested zip structure described in https://docs.arduino.cc/learn/contributions/arduino-creating-library-guide

If someone is interested to pick it up.
