The guide here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ste ... r/overview
shows how to use with CircuitPython or Arduino.

The CircuitPython library is here:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... hon_seesaw

The Arduino library is here:

You're missing a library dependency. But also, you have multiple copies of the seesaw library installed. I'd suggest manually deleting these folders:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_Seesaw
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Adifruit
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_Seesaw-master
and then reinstall the seesaw library. Be sure to install it via the Arduino IDE's Library Manager. That way, any library dependencies will also be installed at the same time.

When you re-installed the Seesaw library via the Arduino Library Manager, did you see this pop up?

Yea, with your continued help I have a sketch ready to try out? Will any 12C LCD screen work or only one bought at Adafruit?

You can try using the library with other products, but Adafruit only supports usage with the ones from the Adafruit shop.

You can also fork the library and modify it however you want.

If you install Arduino libraries via a zip file, you need to take care of dependencies on your own as well. Installing via Library Manager is recommended for that reason.

Here's a link to all LCD like displays:
https://www.adafruit.com/category/63

Not sure what a "12C LCD" is. If that's "character", then here's a link to those:
https://www.adafruit.com/category/96


Or are you looking at a specific guide or something else that mentions a specific display?

Can you link to this. Can take a look and see what display they are referring to.

There are Learn guides linked from the bottom of product pages. So you could look for a display you are interested in and then follow those links to the associated learn guide. Like this one for LCD character displays:

Thank you for that link. I now have a soil moisture sketch with a LCD screen but I want adafruit due to it being better than China types.
Capacitive is supposed to be better over time.
