Jim,
Most likely you still had?sketchbook.path (sketchbook location in the preferences) pointing to "c:/users/admininstrator/my documents/arduino" (where windows wants it) and not to?C:\JackAlCode (where Jack has requested it)
If you have a "libraries" folder in your sketchbook folder and a library in there that matches the #include<file> it will be the one chosen. Top priority over the core folder or IDE installation folder.
Comment: The IDE is setup this way so users can add libraries / copy and modify a local copy of the library that is specific to that sketchbook. You can have a sketchbook "JackAl" with additional and/or customized libs, and you can have another Sketchbook with different libraries and still use the same IDE installation without potential conflict do to a modified lib.? The IDE has been updated over time to handle the situation we have here. Custom libs for a sketchbook.? For numerous reasons, promoting a customized library to the core or IDE installation folder is not what I would choose to do.? However this way is NOT how Jack instructed you to do it. For this project, I still recommend following Jack's instructions; especially if you are in need of assistance.? Hence the suggestions from Jan 25.
Fact check the library guide:?
Note about:
Using Sketch -> Include Library -> Add Zip Library ¡ in the Arduino IDE.
This tool is not smart.? Library directory names have to follow rules.? Evidently those rules were not considered when this tool was added.? If it were a reasonable tool, it would know the rules, flag a lib directory name that was not compliant, make a suggestion and let the user choose the proper name upon import. You can use the tool to effectively unzip the folder and place it in the sketchbook library, but you still have to go to the library and fix the name manually if the name is not compliant.?? Might as well just put it there manually to begin with, IMO.? The user still needs to be aware of the naming rules, the tool does not help. Seems this functionality would have been added a long time ago, with so many users using libs from GitHub.?Not a hair puller, just a disappointment that the tool is lacking.
Rgds,
Gary
