But for some reason my sketch will not recognize (orange text) the library when defined.
I have tried un-installing Arduino, deleting libraries and adding again, I have tried everything except keywords.txt file manually being added because I have no idea where to even start with that [ over my head]
Attatched is a screen shot of my sketch example (untouched) and the LIBRARIES folder currently located in my MAC>Documents>ARDUINO>LIBRARIES
Have you tried compiling it? Sometimes the IDE just won’t highlight it but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t going to work. If you get errors please post here.
One case where it will never highlight is if you have the IDE open, install a library, then try to use it without completely closing the IDE first.
From my understanding, the #include library lines will only turn orange if there is an appropriately set up keywords.txt as part of the library. This discussion has more about it: Library issue #include not turning orange - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum I don’t think we ever set that up for our libraries – it shouldn’t have any negative effect on compilation as far as I know.
I do notice in the original screenshot that you’re referencing CayenneMQTTESP6266.h (notice the 6 rather than an 8.) That’s the first place I’d correct if you’re having some trouble actually using the code – may just be a typo. If its still giving you trouble, let us know what the compilation errors are and we can help troubleshoot.
I have been working on a mac for a while, and I have noticed that programming arduino on mac is just plain hard. Try different versions of the IDE and checking the log file in the IDE.
