B4R Question B4R and arduino MKR1010 no libraries working

[JohnnyHamburg]

Hello,
I wanted to start a new project transmitting data between an arduino and an android device using BLE or wifi. I got myself an arduino mkr1010wifi because I thought it could be good. Now I tried to rebuild some examples like this:

BLE (HM-10 module) - Broadcasting a single byte

In this example I'm using a BLE shield to broadcast the state of a connected button. The byte is sent as part of the advertising data so there is no need for a connection. Any device that scans for BLE peripherals will be able to detect it. The HM 10 module is connected as a serial device to...

but I get an error while compiling about the softwareserial.h library "no such file or directory".

I can upload an empty code, so generally the connection works.

Possibly the libraries don`t work on the mkr? So do I have to use the arduino IDE for creating the sketch?

If you have OneDrive or another cloud storage that has the option to keep the files only on-line and in your computer on demand, then make it having all the files available in your computer permenantly. That is one option why this must be happening. The other is to google it because it might depend on different reasons which at this moment I cannot remember all of them.

The related files such as libraries, openjdk, android-cli are on my computer and not in a cloud. I set the directories and I think I did everything correct.

So, is it possible to use B4R and an arduino 1010 for BLE or wifi? Or do I have to use the android IDE?

I have faced this in the past. Regardless (I think) from the fact you mention, one drive has a unique ability to piss you off when you realize what is doing. My advice? No matter what you think you know One Drive has its own agenda. Check this out...

Also B4R is Arduino IDE. It creates an Arduino sketch which it compiles through the Arduino CLI. With inline c you can take advantage of both the friendly B4R as well as the kind of hostile Arduino IDE...

Hi. I was excited when I found an Arduino board featuring WiFi without external shells. I used the ESP8266 before, and worked, but I (erroneously) supposed that this one would be easier. I have included the libraries needed for using the WiFi (SPI.h and WiFiNINA.h), but the B4R says that cannot...
