I’m trying to get fastLED to work with the arduino Version of code:blocks but I always get this error when I try to compile it.
I think that I linked the library properly to the compiler and the project.
The code can be compiled without an error on the Arduino IDE but I prefer to use Code:Blocks because it has more basic features.

Does anyone have an idea what the cause could be? For the time being, I’ll compile it with the arduino IDE but I would be grateful for any help to get rid of this problem.

Just for clarity, try renaming the library directory from. “FastLED-master” to just “FastLED”, and try again?

I don’t know why, but that actually worked!
Thank you very much :slight_smile:

When you include <FastLED.h>, the IDE only looks in certain places, and having the folder in the libraries directory have a different name from the library itself can throw things off. Changing it to be the same again fixes that.
