Hi there,
I am trying to use micro sd cards working on a particle photon. For that, I’d like to use the SdFat library.GitHub - greiman/SdFat-Particle: SD library for Particle.io devices ) working on my photon.
Now, I am new to particle products (and Arduino), I am not quite sure how I can get it work.
downloading the entire library and copy/paste everything into the folder that contains the main info file (the project folder) - and it works. However, it is probably not a good solution from the file management perspective.
copying and pasting everything into the ‘lib’ folder - does not work. When I try to include the SdFat.h file at the beginning of the .ino file, it cannot import the header.
So what would be the correct way to get the library working? Thank you.
Which version would you need?@whg usually does quite swiftly.
If you needed a previous version you can select them by clicking the (i) icon next to/below the library name
This will let you select one of the previously uploaded versions
However, in order to access a downloaded library it needs to sit in its own folder inside the ./lib folder

If you still have problems you may want to remove the examples folder(s) to prevent confusions with multiple .ino files in the project.

I’ve removed the examples folder as you suggested.
Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!

You are still missing one hierarchical level.

@ScruffR Man, now it works! I can flash those example files successfully. Thank you!
I have one more question though, if you don’t mind…
While it seems to work now, the error message still persists,
Do you have any clue why I am still getting this message?

IntelliSense is often getting a bit skittish about libraries and sometimes sees issues where there aren’t any.
Unfortunately that is a long standing issue @m_m has already ticked on the VS Code forum.

@jwonlee fwiw, we have intellisense troubleshooting steps over here:
hello particle workbench user
usually closing and re-opening the project fixes things though i recognize that's far from idea.
