I', hitting this error when trying to compile Adafruit's example code for their "bunny" demo using their BNO055 IMU. I get this error whether I'm trying to build for the Node MCU 1.0 board or the Adafruit Huzzah board. My google search has only turned up https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/956 but there is much there I don't understand. How did the original poster turn on the detailed output? How can I find out and change my core include paths? This issue was reported nearly a year ago, and I see there have been multiple releases since then. I installed Visual Micro last week so should this issue be fixed? How do I find out what is actually going on and resolve the issue?

Thanks for the post It's the vMicro>Compiler>Verbose option that gives the detailed output. Please also switch on vMicro>Compiler>Show build properties Then attach the output as a .txt to a post here or email to info[at]visualmicro.com To test for the same error in the post you linked grab the arduino ide .zip from arduino.cc downloads page and unpack into a new clean folder on your pc. Then in the Visual Micro Ide locations window set the arduino ide location to the clean install. Thanks

Thanks for the fast response! Here is the output when using the IDE directory the Arduino installer set up. See the next post for the text file for the results when using a clean version of the IDE.

For this run, I downloaded the zip from Arduino.cc as instructed, unzipped to a test directory, and pointed Visual Micro to is in the configuration manager via the drop down that allows me to select the Arduino IDE version.

Thanks for the output. Can you tell me where/how you downloaded the arduino fruit library you are using? which version? The one I have found doesn't have an Adafruit_Sensor.cpp which is where the output says the problem is. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Sensor Thanks

I installed the library from the Arduino IDE's manage libraries functionality. I updated the library when trying to find the location, and that appears to have resolved the issue. Thanks for the help, I feel foolish now for not checking all my libraries before posting here.

Oh great thanks. No problem it's always useful to know because the next user that has the problem might not provide the verbose output. It really helps thanks.
