Re: Need help downloading/installing required software for 49-er

First, make sure you have the latest version of the Forty-9er software from Farrukh's site:
?www.farrukhzia.com/k2zia?
Second, there are non-standard libraries that must be installed in the libraries subdirectory of where you installed the IDE. You can find any missing libraries by doing a search on the #include files:
#include ????????? // From Brian Low: https://github.com/brianlow/Rotary #include ? ?// Shipped with IDE #include ? ? ? ? ? ?// ? ? ? ? "
// Get the LCD I2C Library here: // https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads // Move all *_I2C files into a new folder named LiquidCrystal_I2C // in the Arduino library folder #include
Note that there are a bunch of libraries that use the same name, but are actually different. For example, the #include is NOT the same as #include ...case makes a difference! Put the correct libraries in the libraries subdirectory.
The fact that Blink works means you've installed the IDE software correctly. The fact that the rig doesn't work, unfortunately, could be hardware, software, or both. Just because the code compiles without error does NOT mean you're using the correct libraries. Check those first.?
If that doesn't work and you belong to a club, see if one of the members can help you track down the error.

Gentlemen:?
With the hardware all connected, I powered up the Arduino from my computers USB port, and the LED on both the Arduino?and DDS board lit up as well as the blank (16 square segments only) liquid crystal display.? I then uploaded the?"Blink" sketch, and the LED on the Arduino blinked away.? I then uploaded the Liquid Crystal?sketch with no change.? I then looked for the Rotary.zip file and I was not able to find that in my downloads, so I suspect, I have done something wrong in downloading both of these files.? I will have to confess; downloading software and getting it running is new to me!? The hardware part of this project, I feel that I have done pretty good at.? So gentlemen; what steps can I take to go on from here?? Thank you all in advance, de Karl, KO8S
