Problem uploading GroundStation_UNO_V5 to the Arduino

[Phil]

So, when I try to upload the GroundStation_UNO_V5 to the Arduino I get the following error message:


Arduino: 1.8.3 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"



C:\Users\Ground Station\Desktop\Tracker\Antenna_Tracker\GroundStation_UNO_V5\GroundStation_UNO_V5.ino:10:26: fatal error: Adafruit_GPS.h: No such file or directory



#include <Adafruit_GPS.h>



^



compilation terminated.



exit status 1

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.



This report would have more information with

"Show verbose output during compilation"

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Okay...after a little more research on the proboards I found that I just needed to download all the proper libraries for the Arduino that were called for in the GroundStation_UNO_V5 file. After I uploaded GroundStation_UNO_V5 my calibration window is coming up with the proper numbers.

I downloaded the Adafruit_GPS file from Github. Where am I supposed to put this to make the calibration work?

So, I think I figured out how to add the library in the Arduino IDE but now it is looking for <Adafruit.Sensor.h> and I do not see it in the Adafruit_GPS file.

Where can I find this?

[kendra]

I found the Adafruit.Sensor.h library on the Adafruit github, but am not figuring out how to add it to the GroundStation_UNO_V5.

I feel like this should be an easy thing to do, but it is taking me hours to install it.

I still haven't found how to install the libraries we need to make the IMU calibration file work.

I would really like to get this going before the bench test tomorrow.

All Arduino Libraries need to be installed in C:\username\Documents\Arduino\libraries username is the user account you are using. If you add any libraries to this folder while the Arduino IDE is open you will have to close and reopen Arduino IDE in order for it to refresh the list of libraries.
More info can be found here: learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-all-about-arduino-libraries-install-use/arduino-libraries

[kendra]

Ok, I put the Adafruit_GPS, Adafruit_Sensor, and Adafruit_O055 libraries to the >This PC > Documents > Arduino > libraries.

It seemed to compile, but when I went to upload it, I get this error.

Now what?

Make sure you have the right com port selected in the Arduino IDE, com 1 is usually a serial port and not the Arduino. It will be the same com port number for the Arduino as it is in the antenna tracker as long as you are on the same computer.

[kendra]

Where do you select the com in Arduino IDE?

[kendra]

I found it under tools. I am using COM5

[kendra]

Ok, it says it is done uploading.

[kendra]

The calibration window is coming up.

I will take it out to see if the tracking works with the Iridium payload.

Great to hear you are making progress

Just so that others know: when you get the message in Arduino "Done uploading," you have successfully updated the code on the Arduino and it is safe to unplug it from the computer/USB

Just a reminder: have the Iridium payload at least 50 feet in front of the antenna to prevent the pan servo from turning more than 180 degrees. The variation in the GPS location can make the antenna think the payload is behind it and try to point at it.
