Help: cannot open source file "wifi101.h" (dependency of "WIFIConnectorMKR1000.h")

,

Hi.
I’m new to programming, I’m working on a very small school project, it’s about connecting our arduino to the internet and transferring the data from the tmp36 sensor to thingsboard, our teacher gave us a ready made code, and we just need to build it and upload it to arduino mkr1000.

I use platformeIO being in vscode which runs on Linux Ubuntu 21.10(64 bits), I downloaded two libraries (MQTT and WIFI101) to use it for internet connection and data transfer.

Except that, after downloading the libraries, I have this problem that persists, I have struggled in the forums to find a solution in vain.

If someone can help me, I’d be really happy.

I am new (Linux, vscode, platformeio, arduino, cpp)

Here is the the errors that display.

1- #include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (/home/yvan/Documents/PlatformIO/Projects/IoTMP36/src/main.cpp).

2- cannot open source file “wifi101.h” (dependency of “WIFIConnector_MKR1000.h”)

You are on Linux where you have to take care to correctly spell the filenames in regards to the upper- and lowercasing. Windows ignores upper/lowercase in the filename.

Since you see m to want to use the WiFi101 library, it has a header called WiFi101.h. Not wifi101.h. (As can also be seen in tutorials). Change the code in your project’s include/WIFIConnector_MKR1000.h file accordingly.

Thank you, that’s exactly the solution.
By the way, my teacher’s code was developed under windows, therefore, I just did copy and paste, I couldn’t imagine for a moment that this could happen.

Thank you very much, I had a hard time to find the solution.
Thanks again.
