How come no matter which example code I try I get an Error compiling it before upload?
Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks.

Here's a copy of my error message:

Arduino: 1.6.8 Hourly Build 2016/02/02 09:13 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Fio"

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

The error tells you that you are missing a file.

Go to http://www.plumgeek.com/getting-started.html and follow the section headed Install Ringo Software Libraries, you havent installed the third party files that both RIngo and Wink use. Just follow the section and you'll be sorted. I guess the initial wink instructions may have needed a bit more refining, i got the Ringo so i already had these installed and wink worked fine for me straight away. For newcomers like yourself it may not have been so clear. Also keep in mind the examples you download labelled wink expect to only run on the wink bot, likewise the examples labelled ringo shouldnt run on wink but some of the hardware includes are identical between both bots and you're currently missing those. Good luck.
