Config h file

Playing with the Arduino family is a bit new to me. Followed the steps to load in the code to my Mega R3 and it comes up with an error that config.h does not exist. I can view the file but all I see is lines of comments.

Can someone direct me to my way of errors!

Thank you - Alan

 

Oops, my bad, just replied to this issue over in the Project 2020 update thread.

Alan, if you see this, post your error messages here and I'll respond here. - lyncher

Alan, You're working on a Windows machine, right? Do you have the File View Option to NOT hide file extensions enabled? I'm wondering ... if the option to NOT hide is not set, and you renamed config-example to config.h, then the file is actually named config.h.h with the final '.h' hidden ... and the ArduinoIDE will not find it.

Just a thought ... worth asking -lyncher

 

GOOD CALL ! That was indeed the problem. Thank you very much! Alan
