Reference Language | Libraries | Comparison | Changes
Libraries provide extra functionality for use in sketches, e.g. working with hardware or manipulating data. To use a library in a sketch, select it from Sketch > Import Library.
If you're using one of these libraries, you need to install it first. To do so, download the library and unzip it. It should be in a folder of its own, and will typically contain at least two files, one with a .h suffix and one with a .cpp suffix. Open your Energia sketchbook folder. If there is already a folder there called libraries, place the library folder in there. If not, create a folder called libraries in the sketchbook folder, and drop the library folder in there. Then re-start the Energia programming environment, and you should see your new library in the Sketch > Import Library menu.
For details, see the page on the Energia environment.
For a guide to writing your own libraries, see this tutorial.
Corrections, suggestions, and new documentation should be posted to the Forum.
