CRC doesn't match. File is corrupted. MySensors version 2.0

[palande.vaibhav]

Hello all,

Installing the library 2.0 from Arduino library manager gives an error "
CRC doesn't match. File is corrupted." I am using Arduino IDE version 1.6.12.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank You,
Vaibhav

I just hit the same. Some update gone bad?

MySensors 2.0 was released months ago and has not been updated since then. The Arduino has had problems before like this, see https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/3206

In that case, the solution was for the Arduino IDE people to regenerate the library list. Not sure who we should contact to get that done.

If I just download the library from GitHub and then extract it and paste it into C:\Users"UserName"\Documents\Arduino\libraries folder, it should be fine right?

OR I have to paste it in the Program Files(x86)\Arduino\libraries folder?

@mfalkvidd

Can you add this to the description on the website which talks about how to install the MySensors library?
Because for the older library versions we had to actually download the zip and then paste the contents of the libraries folder into the Program Files(x86)\Arduino\libraries folder.
You have the video for that on the website but not for the new library 2.0.

And I believe for library 2.0 we have to extract it and put it as it is in the documents\Arduino\libraries folder.

@palande.vaibhav we'd need to figure out a way to make it very clear that manual install is not recommended. People tend to read like 10% of the documentation we create and we don't want people start trying to install manually in the cases where the library manager works.

@mfalkvidd
OK. That makes sense. But for me if it doesn't work manual install in Documents\Arduino\libraries is the way to go, right?

OR install should be in Program Files(86)\Arduino\libraries and there is a method to do it?

[mfalkvidd]

@palande.vaibhav I'll need to boot up my computer to check.

[palande.vaibhav]

@mfalkvidd
Can you please do that as time permits?

[mfalkvidd]

@palande.vaibhav yes. Just need to finish breakfast first

@mfalkvidd
Haha okay. I am from US. It's a night time for me. So, didn't realize that.

[mfalkvidd]

@palande.vaibhav I have no MySensors files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries so the Document folder seems to be the right place.
If you already have a MySensors folder, delete it before extracting for the zip. Some files have changed names and locations, and just extracting on top of the old installation will cause problems.

@mfalkvidd
I have extracted the zip from GitHub, renamed the folder to MySensors and pasted it into Documents\Arduino\libraries folder. I don't have MySensors stuff in Program Files(86)\Arduino\libraries folder.

And it works. Arduino library manager now shows MySensors library version 2.0.0 as installed.
