DFRobot EC library failed to import into IOT Cloud (uno R4)

Hi, I wanted to add the DFRobot EC library for the uno R4/ IOT Cloud, unfortunately I get the following error:

 

Error while importing files

DFRobot_EC_Test: Error: no .ino fileDFRobot_PH_EC: Error: no .ino file

 

 

I used this library:

GitHub - DFRobot/DFRobot_EC: Arduino library for Gravity: Analog Electrical Conductivity Sensor / Meter Kit V2 (K=1.0), SKU: DFR0300

 

I followed the instructions from here

Importing files to the Web Editor | Arduino Documentation

 

 

I am happy about any help

It seems like you are encountering issues while trying to import the DFRobot EC library into your Arduino Uno R4/IoT Cloud project. The error message "Error: no .ino file" typically indicates that the Arduino Web Editor is unable to find the main `.ino` file within the library folder structure. Here’s how you can resolve this issue:

### Importing the DFRobot EC Library Correctly

1. **Download the Library**:
  - Go to the [DFRobot EC library repository](https://github.com/DFRobot/DFRobot_EC).
  - Click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP" to download the library to your computer.

2. **Extract the ZIP File**:
  - Extract the downloaded ZIP file. Inside, you should find a folder named `DFRobot_EC-master` (or similar).

3. **Locate the `.ino` File**:
  - Navigate into the extracted library folder (`DFRobot_EC-master`).
  - Look for a file with the extension `.ino`. This is the main Arduino sketch file that should be located directly inside the library folder or within a folder named the same as the library (like `DFRobot_EC`).

4. **Ensure Proper Structure**:
  - The Arduino Web Editor expects a specific structure where the main `.ino` file (the sketch file) is directly inside the library folder or within a folder that is named the same as the library itself.
  - If the structure of the downloaded library is different (for example, all files are inside a subfolder like `src` or `examples`), you might need to reorganize the files to match the expected structure.

5. **Zip the Library Correctly (if needed)**:
  - If the extracted folder structure matches the above requirements (`.ino` file directly inside or in a folder named the same as the library), you can try importing it again.
  - If not, create a ZIP archive of the library with the correct structure. For example, create a ZIP file that includes the `DFRobot_EC` folder directly containing the `.ino` file and any other necessary files.

6. **Import into Arduino Web Editor**:
  - In the Arduino Web Editor:
    - Go to **Libraries** (in the left sidebar).
    - Click on **Import**.
    - Choose the ZIP file you prepared (the one with the correct structure).
    - Click **Open** to import the library.

7. **Verify and Use**:
  - After importing, the library should appear under **Libraries** in your Arduino Web Editor.
  - You can now include and use it in your sketches by selecting it from the Libraries dropdown menu in the IDE.

### Example Scenario

For instance, if your downloaded library structure looks like this after extraction:

```
DFRobot_EC-master
├── DFRobot_EC.ino
├── README.md
└── other_files...
```

Make sure the `DFRobot_EC.ino` file is directly inside the `DFRobot_EC-master` folder. If it’s nested further (like `DFRobot_EC-master/src/DFRobot_EC.ino`), you should adjust the folder structure accordingly before zipping and importing.https://www.pneda.com/

Following these steps should resolve the "Error: no .ino file" issue and allow you to successfully import and use the DFRobot EC library in your Arduino Uno R4/IoT Cloud project. If you encounter any further issues, double-check the library structure and ensure it matches the expected format for Arduino libraries.

Not sure if the library is compatible with R4.

well, than which one is compatible with R4?
