Hello,

I got the following error while compiling the Herkulex library on the Max32. The SoftwareSerial library in installed correctly. Thanks for your help,

Renaud

I have no idea what (or where) the Herkulex library might be, but I do know that the chipKIT SoftwareSerial library is very old and doesn't work the same as modern Arduino SoftwareSerial libraries. Is the Herkulex library designed to work with the chipKIT SoftwareSerial library, or are you trying to use an Arduino SoftwareSerial library on a chipKIT board?
