Code error with a ex arduino library

[embodiedmedia]

Hi - Im new to porting - and have created a private library for a SEEED digital light sensor - they provide arduino libraries only … Ive managed to upload iit successfully via the CLI … and can then see it and include it via the web IDE - Ive written a test bit of very simple code as below - … and the RAW of the compile fail (as no further details given): seems like the key line is fatal error: Digital_Light_TSL2561.h: No such file or directory - I suspect its something quite simple

Ive included a screenshot of the structure of the library. Can anyone assist me please?

Here is the code …

.ino follows______

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <KMA_Digital_Light_TSL2561.h>
#include <Wire.h>
void setup() {
    Wire.begin();
    Serial.begin(9600);
    TSL2561.init();
}
void loop() {
//    Serial.print("The Infrared value is: ");
//    Serial.println(TSL2561.readIRLuminosity());  //read Infrared channel value only, not convert to lux.
 //   delay(1000);
}

Your project structure isn't quite correct
It should rather look like shown here

Undefined Reference Error on Compile

The structure of the library is not correct IMO and it is missing a library.properties file. This would be how a valid project structure should look like >. │ project.properties │ README.md │ ├───.vscode │ launch.json │ settings.json │ ├───lib │ └───yourLib │ │ library.properties │ │ LICENSE.txt │ │ README.md │ │ │ └───src │ yourLib.h │ yourLib.cpp │ ├───src yourProject.cpp yourProject.ino

To get started with developing/porting a library in Particle workbench you can follow the steps as outlined here (obviously with some adaptations for your own library)

Adafruit_ST7789.h: No such file or directory

Welcome to the community This repository is not providing a library as such but only a project that can work with that display. That’s most noticeable by the fact that there is a project.properties file and not a library.properties file. If you want to use this as a library, you’d run Particle: Create New Project Particle: Launch CLI therein run mkdir lib lib/Adafruit_ST7789 && cd lib/Adafruit_ST7789 && particle library create --name Adafruit_ST7789 --version 0.0.1 --author "Adafruit …

Many thanks Scruff - I will look into this. If you know of a good resource that steps through this process for newbies - that would save a lot of hassle I think … Ive struggled each time Ive attempted this - but Im sure its pretty straightforward

I'm not aware of something like this officially but I think the second link I posted should cover that nicely
