Arduino Library Install Clarification for Windows

[EdmondsLibrarian]

Thanks for your wonderful install guides with pictures.
It appears that I am doing something not quite right about moving the needed Arduino library(s) to support the Makelangelo. I’ve looked at quite a few guides on the web including the Arduino and the Sparkfun
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-an-arduino-library

1
The firmware is at
https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Makelangelo-firmware/releases/tag/1.0.0

2
The firmware (zip) file expands and has a folder
frimware_ams folder
Then inside this there are two more folders Adafruit_MotorShield and AFMotorDrawbot with a firmware_ams (ino) and Vector3.h file

3a-
I’m pretty sure I want to put the move the “proper” files in the the MyDocuments / Arduino / libraries /

3b- Uncertainty
What goes in the libraries folder? I don’t seem to be making the right choice. I’ve tried
a- the firmware_ams folder
b- the two sub folders

a result is Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: “Arduino/Genuino Uno”
firmware_ams.ino:126:28: fatal error: AFMotorDrawbot.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Multiple libraries were found for “Vector3.h”
Used: C:UsersborchertpDocumentsArduinolibrariesfirmware_ams
Not used: C:Program FilesArduinolibrariesfirmware_ams
Error compiling.”

Could any users send a screenshot of the final layout of the libary files?
It will probably solve my Windows 7 & 8 problems…
Thanks you.

Directory should be

C:UsersXXXXXXXXDocumentsArduinolibraries

Then you should have 2 folders
Adafruit_MotorShield
with Adafruit_MotorShield.cpp and Adafruit_MotorShield.h in it
and
AFMotorDrawbot
with AFMotorDrawbot.cpp and AFMotorDrawbot.h in it

the vector one is does not need to be in your library, I believe it may be in Ardunio’s default library.

Hope that works

Thanks for the confirmation.
There appears to be another issue. Any ideas?
Here are some screen shots.

What else needs modified?

The latest firmware released today should fix the problem.

A line was missing from the top:

#include 

EDIT: I am wrong. this is not the fix. AFMotor.h should not be called at all, ever.

I downloaded the newest firmware update (10/31) just 2 hours old. 🙂

Put the 2 folders in C:UsersXXXXXXXXDocumentsArduinolibraries
1 Adafruit_MotorShield-with Adafruit_MotorShield.cpp and Adafruit_MotorShield.h in it and
2 AFMotorDrawbot-with AFMotorDrawbot.cpp and AFMotorDrawbot.h in it

The newest code #include is included in the file Firmware_AMS Arduino sketch.

It doesn’t compile due to AFMotor.h – No such file or directory. Screenshot:

How can I squash the bug?

Exact same error

I’m looking into it now.

The New firmware update has solved this issue. Thank you so much for your assistance.
