error: 'MFRC522' does not name a type

[phantom101]

Hello,

In Arduino IDE and Platformio IDE i get the following Error when i just want try the demo:
MFRC522_i2c:9:1: error: 'MFRC522' does not name a type
Thanks

Hey,

Could it be that you probably install it wrong on Arduino IDE?

[PDKarber]

I am getting "Compilation error: 'MFRC522' does not name a type; did you mean 'MFRC522_I2C'?" No matter what example program I use as long as it is a MFRC522_I2C version it will not compile. I have updated the IDE and even installed from scratch on a new computer and installed the libraries correctly, MFRC522_I2C is broken. I am trying to use the RFID from Keystudio Smart House with ESP32 but I am stuck because of this error. Again, No matter what computer I use or version of IDE the I2C for the MFRC522 will not compile. For Giggles I tried to compile a Pin example version not I2C of MFRC522 and it compiled just fine.

Can you give a try with this here please? We dont have any MFRC522 with I2C to test it now.

I came across the RESET PIN solution on my own. It appears the library has been updated since your instructions were written. I put the pin as 0. Thank you for your response. Paul

Hi, I have exactly the same issue as Phantom 101 and PDKarber. I have tried everything that PDK has tried and I am still getting "Compilation error: 'MFRC522' does not name a type; did you mean 'MFRC522_I2C'?" Is there a line that is incorrect in the library? I see that the library refers to also including Wire in the arguments for MFRC522. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
