Library issues with 3.2" 4D touchscreen

Hi

I’m a novice but have used the Arduinos for the past few years for LEDs and other things.

So, I decided to take a step up and try a touch screen. I bought this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11741

I went to the links for the libraries, which isn’t something I have done a lot of. However with Arduino 1.0.5 I know you can import the zip file.

Well the file name is huge. So, when I try to do so, I get an error from Arduino that verifies that it can’t be that big

Not quite sure what goes where, how does a newbie do that? Can I just name the folder any old thing? Or is it sensitive to that?

One last question…the shield has an SD slot but I’m hard pressed to find anywhere what the space constraints are. FAT16 only? FAT32?

I got this answer from someone on the Arduino forums and wanted to share that here…

Do not place the whole zip file contents into the libraries folder. You need to copy these sub folders, \Picaso_Serial_4DLib and \genieArduino to the libraries folder.

I’ll try that.

I’d like to find out how you plug the shield into the UNO…and what goes from there into the touchscreen.
