Originally, I thought maybe my version of Time was too new so I deleted it and installed the older version and it didn't help.

    Yes, it looks like you do not have the (correct) time library installed. 

    You haven't included the first few lines of the error list-- which are the ones that usually tell you what the "root" error was.  But, if I remove the Time library (by commenting out line the line that says #include <Time.h>, I do get a similar set of errors.

    So, it sounds like you either have the wrong version of the time library, or it's installed in the wrong location.
  • dompeldompel
    Which version should I be looking for?
  • Windell OskayWindell Oskay
    Use the version that is indicated in our documentation, available for download here:  http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Time

    The download (Time.zip) includes three different libraries.  Move all three of them into your 'libraries' folder and restart Arduino. 
  • dompeldompel
    They are in there. I just deleted them and replaced them again, restarted arduino ide, and getting the same error. Sktch > Import Library shows Time installed as well.
  • Windell OskayWindell Oskay
    One check you can do is to see if the Time example sketches will compile.

    File Menu > Examples> Time > TimeRTC

    See if that sketch will verify, or if you get the same set of errors.

    Hey, 
    I don't have TimeRTC. I do have TimeRTCLog and TimeRTCSet. 

    I tried Log and got this error:

    >I don't have TimeRTC. I do have TimeRTCLog and TimeRTCSet. 

    Then, please install the correct version of the library-- the one available for download at the link that I gave you earlier, and is also listed in our documentation.  DO NOT use the version from PJRC.
  • dompeldompel
    Sorry to do this... Can you confirm this file: http://playground.arduino.cc/uploads/Code/Time.zip is correct?
  • Windell OskayWindell Oskay
    Yes, I've just downloaded a fresh copy and verified that it's the right one.  If it is the right one, and it's installed correctly, you should see File > Examples > Time > Examples > TimeRTC
  • dompeldompel
    Thanks Windell. Working now!
  • Windell OskayWindell Oskay
    Awesome, thanks!
