How-To add a Library to the Arduino IDE

1. If the library is in a ZIP or other compressed format, expand it.

2. Check that the result of your expansion contains a folder with the librarys name
3. After expanding make sure that your folder is the innermost library folder, usually containing the library code file
with extension cpp and the library header file with extension h. It may also contain a folder called examples.
4. Make sure that the name of the folder only contains letters, numbers and the underscore character _.
5. Copy the library folder to the Arduino IDEs libraries location. Usually at C:\Program Files\arduino-1.x.x\libraries\
