AndyBoard Code Libraries

andyboard_2_0_1 library

Click here to download andyboard_2_0_1 library and click here to download the library installer.

The library, named andyboard_2_0_1.zip, will be downloaded to the downloads folder.

After downloading the library it should be unzipped into a place where the Arduino IDE will find it and the Arduino IDE must then be closed and re-opened.

Unfortunately, the place where the Arduino expects to find it varies depending on whether or not One Drive is active.

The two possible places are c:Users\<user name>\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\libraries and c:Users\<user name>\Documents\Arduino\libraries.

The following steps explain how to put the library files in the proper place; follow the steps carefully. If you make a mistake, most of the time, the Arduino IDE will not report an error and will just fail to use the library. This can subsequently result in hard to diagnose problems.

Step 1 Start File Explorer (not Internet Explorer) by right clicking its icon, which will be similar to this:

Step 4 Find the file andyboard_2_0_1.zip.

If that file has been downloaded more than once, the file might be named andyboard_2_0_1 (x).zip where x is a number.

If there are any andyboard_2_0_1.zip files that contain (x), where x is a number, pick the file with the highest value for x.

This image shows an example where the andyboard_2_0_1.zip file has been downloaded four times.

The file to be chosen is the one where x is 3 because it is the most recently downloaded version of the file (despite the date and time being the same for all four files)

Right click on the desired file. A window will open, the top part of which is similar to this:
