Install Troubles

[EthanDJohnson]

Hello!

I'm having a hard time even getting this library to install. It's not showing up in the Library Manager so I came here to install the .zip and that's not working out either. It always just says that:

"Specified folder/zip file does not contain a valid library"

What can I even attempt do with that? I know that my IDE is installing .zip files fine otherwise--I just installed via .zip for the Adafruit Motor Shield V2 Library and it's working just fine.

This repo isn't really set up for you to download the github zip and import it as a library into Arduino.

You just need to copy the PID_AutoTune_v0.h and PID_AutoTune_v0.cpp into your sketch directory and you are good to go.

It's also registered with the arduino ide, so you can just import it from there

@br3ttb In the library manager of Arduino IDE 2.0 beta the lib seems to be missing.

If I past the PID_AutoTune_v0.cpp + PID_AutoTune_v0.h file into my autotune project sketch directory the include of #include <PID_v1.h> does not find the PID library. PID_v1.cpp and PID_v1.h is installed into libraries and can be included into other sketches without problems. If I paste the PID_v1.cpp and PID_v1.h file of the PID Library into the sketch folder of my autotune project as well the lib cannot be included... still.

EDIT:
The IDE marks the include statement as an error. But compilation works if all .cpp + .h dependencies are pasted into the proejct sketch directory. Just ignore the error highlighting 👯
