AFMotor.h: No such file or directory
The error “AFMotor.h: No such file or directory” typically occurs when the Arduino IDE is unable to locate the required library file “AFMotor.h” for your code. This error suggests that either the library is not installed properly or it is missing from the specified directory- double-check that you have installed the “Adafruit Motor Shield” library correctly and that it is located in the arduino libraries folder.
Error "AFMotor.h: No such file or directory" This error usually occurs when the compiler or build system cannot find the header file "AFMotor.h" needed to compile your code.
This error can occur due to a few reasons:
| 1 | The header file “AFMotor.h” is not included in your project or it is not in the correct location |
| 2 | The path to the header file is not specified correctly in your code |
| 3 | The library that contains the “AFMotor.h” header file is not installed or configured correctly |
To resolve this error ensure that you include the -AFMotor.h- header file in your project and place it in the appropriate location Verify that the code specifies the correct path to the header file.
If you rely on a library containing the -AFMotor.h- header file, confirm that the library is correctly installed and configured Consider reinstalling the library or updating it to a newer version.
If the error persists consult the documentation or forums for the specific library or platform you’re using for potential additional troubleshooting steps or solutions.
No Library ? Download AFMotor.h
To obtain the “AFMotor.h” header file, you may need to download and install the corresponding library before utilizing it in your code.
The AFMotor library is commonly used with Arduino to control DC and stepper motors via the Adafruit Motor Shield V1. You can acquire the library by visiting the Adafruit website or accessing it through the Arduino Library Manager.
Follow these steps to manually download and install the library:
| 1 | Go to the Adafruit Motor Shield V1 library page on GitHub: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Motor-Shield-library |
| 2 | Click on the “Download ZIP” button to download the library as a ZIP file. |
| 3 | Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your computer. |
| 4 | Rename the extracted folder to “AFMotor” (without quotes). |
| 5 | Move the “AFMotor” folder to your Arduino “libraries” folder. The “libraries” folder is usually located in the Arduino sketchbook folder. |
| 6 | Restart the Arduino IDE to load the library. |
NewPing.h: No such file or directory
The error “NewPing.h: No such file or directory” typically occurs when the compiler or build system is unable to find the header file “NewPing.h” that is required for compiling your code.
This error can occur due to a few reasons:
| 1 | The header file “NewPing.h” is not included in your project or it is not in the correct location. |
| 2 | The path to the header file is not specified correctly in your code. |
| 3 | The library that contains the “NewPing.h” header file is not installed or configured correctly. |
To resolve this error, you should first make sure that the “NewPing.h” header file is included in your project and is in the correct location. You should also check that the path to the header file is specified correctly in your code.
Download NewPing.h
To download and install the NewPing library for Arduino, you can follow these steps:
| 1 | Go to the NewPing GitHub page: https://github.com/livetronic/Arduino-NewPing |
| 2 | Click on the green “Code” button and then select “Download ZIP” to download the library as a ZIP file. |
| 3 | Open the Arduino IDE and go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library. |
| 4 | Navigate to the downloaded ZIP file and select it. |
| 5 | Wait for the library to be installed. You should see a message in the status bar indicating that the library was installed successfully. |
| 6 | Close the Library Manager and go to Sketch > Include Library > NewPing to include the NewPing library in your sketch. |
After following these steps, you should be able to use the NewPing library in your Arduino project by including the “NewPing.h” header file at the top of your sketch.
Servo.h: No such file or directory
The error “Servo.h: No such file or directory” typically occurs when the compiler or build system is unable to find the header file “Servo.h” that is required for compiling your code.
This error can occur due to a few reasons:
| 1 | The header file “Servo.h” is not included in your project or it is not in the correct location. |
| 2 | The path to the header file is not specified correctly in your code. |
| 3 | The library that contains the “Servo.h” header file is not installed or configured correctly. |
To resolve this error, you should first make sure that the “Servo.h” header file is included in your project and is in the correct location. You should also check that the path to the header file is specified correctly in your code.
Download servo.h
The Servo library is a popular Arduino library for controlling servo motors. You can download the library from the Arduino Library Manager or from the Servo GitHub page: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Servo
To install the library using the Arduino Library Manager, follow these steps:
| 1 | Open the Arduino IDE. |
| 2 | Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries. |
| 3 | In the Library Manager, search for “Servo”. |
| 4 | Select the “Servo” library from the search results. |
| 5 | Click on the “Install” button to install the library. |
| 6 | Wait for the installation to complete and then close the Library Manager. |
After you have installed the library, you should be able to include the “Servo.h” header file in your code without getting the “No such file or directory” error.
