Adafruit CLUE board (adafruit_clue_nrf52840)

Libraries
1

I am trying to use the CLUE board from Adafruit. A simple HelloWorld code (Serial.println(“HelloWorld”)) worked fine, however, when I added deps adafruit/Adafruit Arcada Library@^2.5.0 and adafruit/Adafruit Sensor Lab @ ^0.4.2, the compiler complained that it can’t find Adafruit_GFX.h which was included from Arcada. I looked in the .pio/libdeps all the dependencies of Arcada and Sensor Lab were there including Adafruit_GFX

Anyone know why?

[env:adafruit_clue_nrf52840]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = adafruit_clue_nrf52840
framework = arduino
lib_deps = adafruit/Adafruit Arcada Library@^2.5.0
                 adafruit/Adafruit Sensor Lab @ ^0.4.2

Below are the error messages

Try specifying the Adafruit GFX dependency also in lib_deps or use a lib_ldf_mode = chain+ directive (docs). Might also be related to a possible regression in the library dependency finder (LDF regression between 4.3.4 and 5.0.1 · Issue #3668 · platformio/platformio-core · GitHub).

Thanks maxgerhardt

Though, chain+ did not work for me. I looked through the documentation that you mentioned, I used deep+ which got me further until more dependency issues showed up. Looking through the error messages, I manually added 3 more libs (Adafruit EPD, WavePlayer and TinyUSB) which made the build process went through without any errors.

These 3 libs that I added manually, were specified as dependencies by Adafruit Arcada and Adafruit GFX in file library.properties. However, PlatformIO did not pull them down somehow?

Anyway thanks for your help
