I am total newbie in Arduino and for the last 3 days I am trying to figure this out.

I would like to use an I2C display for a project. I have installed the LiquidCrystal_I2C, but when I try to upload it I get this wire.h missing message.

Could anyone please help me to understand and fix this?

  • +1 for saying help me to understand ...... too many people only want finished code – jsotola Mar 14 '19 at 17:26

That library is special. It expects to be placed in the same location as the Wire library. You need to find the location of the Wire library and place this library alongside it. So you have:

.../Wire/Wire.cpp
.../Wire/Wire.h
.../LiquidCrystal_I2C/LiquidCrystal_I2C.cpp
.../LiquidCrystal_I2C/LiquidCrystal_I2C.h

etc

  • Thank you for the reply. I seems I have two copies of wire.cpp and wire.h in two different locations. Attached is a screenshot of their locations with respect to the LiquidCrystal_I2C.h and LiquidCrystal_I2C.cpp - is this the problem? Screenshot: i.imgur.com/n7m8UTR.png – saicode Mar 14 '19 at 18:15
  • Just pick one. If they're all the same then it won't matter which. – Majenko♦ Mar 14 '19 at 19:44
  • how can I pick one? (sorry if it's a stupid question) – saicode Mar 15 '19 at 6:14
