Following sparkfun BNO080 guide. Installed library but yet arduino cannot find file or directory. I am completely stuck and i havent even started

[TS-Brandon]

Have you tried installing using Arduino Library Manager found under “Sketch>Include Library>Manage Libraries”?

You can find SparkFun libraries and board definitions using JSON tools in the Arduino Preferences settings.

[steamcontrollerplayr]

Yes, i’ve installed it. still no luck Looked everywhere for a fix. tried adding the sparkfun zip file too but that fails to add.

Faulty board?

[TS-Brandon]

That issue wouldn’t be the board itself. It seems like it is an issue on your software side of things. What version of Arduino IDE are you using?

[steamcontrollerplayr]

Using the app version 1.8.33.0

Sorry about the bad quality! I know i must be missing something simple!

[TS-Brandon]

I’m unable to view the video, permissions are set to private. Also, the latest stable release of Arduino is [1.8.12. I’m not familiar with the version you are using, so it is highly possible that there are compatibility issues.](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)

[steamcontrollerplayr]

Installed it with installer rather than the app. still no luck there. correct its 1.8.12. ive made the video viewable now

Since you’ve installed the SparkFun libraries can you run one of the example sketches under “File>Examples>SparkFun BNO080 Cortex Based IMU”?

[steamcontrollerplayr]

There isnt SparkFun BNO080 Cortex Based IMU in the examples. if you mean loading the sketch from the library options then no still says no file or destination

[TS-Brandon]

That is bizarre that there aren’t any examples since you do have the library installed through Arduino’s Library Manager. The examples show in mine.

You may have to uninstall all BNO080 libraries and files, then reinstall through the Arduino Library Manager. It may even require an re-installation of the Arduino IDE. Unfortunately, this error is on the Arduino’s IDE side. You may also want to visit Arduino’s Support Forum to see if other users have had these kinds of errors.

Finally got past it! i think i had to load them though the exmaple in aurdino and not open the file. But… Im now getting “BNO080 not detected at default I2C address. Check your jumpers and the hookup guide. Freezing”… Its a qwick connect… so i have no idea
