Open the library. Press F9 to make sure it compiles (there may be dependencies). From the File menu, select Save to... and from the fly-out menu select Propeller Library. If you did a standard install of the Propeller Tool this is really the only way. The Program Files (x86) folder is protected from direct access (i.e., through the file explorer). Since Propeller Tool "owns" the library folder, it has access rights and can use that folder without problems.
Simplify your life for now, just put all the objects you have written or are using i.e. FullDuplexSerial.spin into the same directory. Prop Tool should find them all. Don't worry about libraries. See page 141 of Prop manual v1.2 Obj for the actual order of search for an object. For every object you did NOT write yourself, again FullDuplexSerial.spin for example, go through it and note each of the PUB references so you know how the ones you want to use are called with both name and required values and the order they are expected. After you are familiar with the section on Objects, and how to use them, what I have done below in the extract from a working sensor project should be pretty easy to follow.

Any typos or errors are mostly my own, I learned from the best out there....
Looks like you got ahead of me on this one. I suggested the OP not mess with libraries until he has a need for them. Far easier to put what he needs all in one subdirectory and does not get tripped up by which version of object.spin he may have in a library somewhere the content of which he may not be able to find and review.
Kinda like putting the contents of your (or any good complete) project template (as posted a few pages back) in a "my_shiny_new_whiz_bang_project" directory for a fast jump start working on the project rather than wasting time on setting up an environment which most of the time starts pretty much the same way. Just had an extra 2cents to put in rather than hoarding it until my next visit to the CoinStar machine.
Forget about libraries, save it for once your project is working. Just for now, copy all of your spin objects into a single directory. Make sure the names of the spin files match the names of the right side spin object names in your OBJ part of the code. Post a screen shot of the spin tool when you get the error.
Added screen shot w/ relationship of Directory==>object.spin files ===>OBJ name:object file ===>Method call in Object
1. First open your propeller tool. 2. Open the full duplex plus from the forum spin file. 3. Find the (X86) program files, click on that. 4. Then scroll down the tree until you find parallax, then propeller, then library. 5. Now go up to file top left. 6. click save as. 7. Find Program files(X86) again. 8. Click on (X86), find parallax, propeller, and library again, and save it in your library. 9. Hopefully your telescope program is saved in your library too. Looks good your library is open, make sure the file name matches the file name in your object exact.
If you have ser : "FullDuplexSerialPlus" listed in your Object, the file name saved in your library needs to have the same exact name,"FullDuplexSerialPlus"
Jumpin' Jiminy on a cracker!!! You have a space in the name of the object. Also, you don't need to put the extension in the object file name -- it's a Spin compiler, it knows to look for .spin files.
Duplicate. windows will add numbers to duplicate files esp when downloading a file that already exists in the destination directory. Also, win10 screen shot, shift+win+s gives a snapshot menu. Then upload the .png file.
Help me CodeMeJon McPhalen your our only hope..............;)
Made another attempt at testing the serial but to no avail. Nothing on the terminal screen and no function to the output pins Do I need to setup a second set of serial pins. Whats the dope on this.
I expect to see the same as in the second photo, four values and four numbers, each value has a level . Values 2 and 4 are either 1 or 0 and values 1 and 3 are levels between 0 and 255. Each time I press a direction button either value 1 and 2 will display a level or value 3 and 4 will display a level
Sorry posted the wrong format on the lisitng. Just open your prop tool and click on the spin file. The longcon is in your program. You can just comment that out.
What I don't understand is how the serial cog can output the pulses to the output pins when cog0 is in control of the output pins . The EW_PLS pin is always sending a pulse and The EW_Dir pin is always high when in tracking mode . Also doesn't the "FullDuplexSerialPlus set up the cog new anyway?
Your pulse out pins are 14 and 16. Pin 14 out is controlled by Input pin 4,5 , and 6. Pulling pin 6 high stops the output to pin 14. Pulling PIn 4 or 5 varies pulse width. Pin 16 only outputs when Pins 6 or 7 are pulled high. Pins 13 is in a constant high output. Pulling input pin 5 makes pin 13 go low. Pin 15 you can toggle high or low with pins 6 and 7. This is your code I just made it work so you can see it on the serial term.
