n00b here having issues loading both the hex file and compiling within the ide. I have a uno r3 and v2 motorsheild.

When trying to load with Xloader I just get 0 bytes uploaded at the end. My settings are Uno, Com3, 115200

When compiling within the ide I keep getting an error of 'expected initializer before '*' token', which happens on the 'const byte* p = (const byte*)(const void*)&value;' line in EEPROMAnything.h

And the errors
polargraph_server_a1.ino:66:26: warning: AccelStepper.h: No such file or directory
configuration.ino:31:21: warning: AFMotor.h: No such file or directory
In file included from polargraph_server_a1.ino:69:
/EEPROMAnything.h: In function 'int EEPROM_writeAnything(int, const T&)':

EEPROMAnything.h:15: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token
EEPROMAnything.h:15: error: expected primary-expression before 'void'

Any direction I should be looking in?

Ahh, I was under the impression that I only needed to upload your code and not any other libraries. So load the code that in the adafruit v2 tutorial, then try to compile?

Yes, Ive been able to atleast load the blink example sketch.
