Good evening everyone, I am an absolute newbie in programming chipKIT and use the MPLAB X IDE and a MX7Cerebot Board. Now I wanted to integrate the KYPD Library and it shows that a library is missing, the #include <WProgram.h>.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your support.

What's the KYPD library? Something to do with the police in Kentucky?

Excuse me. The C-code files for the 4 * 4PmodKYPD - 16 Button Keypad

Ah, right, I'm not familiar with all digilent's toys.

Well, if you're using MPLAB-X then you're not using the chipKIT environment. So you can't use chipKIT libraries. If you want to use chipKIT libraries you will either have to use MPIDE or UECIDE (of course, as the author, I have to recommend the latter).

But then, you really really don't need the crutch of a library to read a simple matrix keypad (BTW, I bought a couple from China on eBay without the fancy mounting PCB for like $1 each, those pmods are wildly expensive...)

Thanks for your answer. That was just an attempt to see if and how it works. So I'll follow your advice and try the UECIDE.

Thank you and have a good time.
