Whenever i try to run some of the sample codes it tells me
‘CRGB’ does not name a type
any fix for this?

Hey Sam, what version Arduino IDE are you using, what version of the FastLED library, and please post possible pastebin of your non-functioning code?

I have tried using version 1.0.6, along with 1.5.5. I am using the most recent FastLED library I am currently trying to use the default RGBCalibrate code in the FastLED file

Arduino: 1.5.5-r2 (Windows 7), Board: “Arduino Uno”

RGBCalibrate.ino:1:21: error: FastLED.h: No such file or directory
RGBCalibrate:33: error: ‘CRGB’ does not name a type
RGBCalibrate.ino: In function ‘void setup()’:
RGBCalibrate:54: error: ‘FastLED’ was not declared in this scope
RGBCalibrate:54: error: ‘LPD8806’ was not declared in this scope
RGBCalibrate:54: error: ‘RGB’ was not declared in this scope
RGBCalibrate:54: error: ‘leds’ was not declared in this scope
RGBCalibrate.ino: In function ‘void loop()’:

RGBCalibrate:68: error: ‘random8’ was not declared in this scope
RGBCalibrate:70: error: ‘FastLED’ was not declared in this scope
RGBCalibrate:72: error: ‘CRGB’ is not a class or namespace

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
enabled in File > Preferences.

You probably don’t have the FastLED library folder named properly, or it’s in the wrong place. If you look at the first line of the error log, it can’t find the h file (the brain code of the library). Everything compiles on my side with the same settings, software versions.

Thank you very much for that I just had a naming error on my part.
