Two things to confirm with this -

1) listArduinoLibraries should list this library.

2) The location where the 3rd party library is. To know where it should be -

a) open your Arduino IDE by typing winopen(arduinoio.IDERoot)

b) Go to File > Preferences and open the Sketchbook location in your explorer.

c) Create libraries folder inside this if it does not exist already.

d) Place the 3rd party library folder here and make sure that it has all the files accessible within one sublayer.

Hi,

I have the same problem but with the 2022 version. The solution published by Madhu Govindarajan is not working for me

[Radu Octavian Sandu]

@Mauricio RC did you succeed in installing 3rd party library?

Hi,

It´s been a while now but if I remember correctly when I installed the library in the right place I removed the DependentLibraries and the LibraryHeaderFiles to be equal to {}. That is lines 33 and 34 of the basic_HX711.m file. Someone in other block mentioned this solution, but I don´t remember where sorry.
