I am a newbie. trying figure Arduino out.
Having issues. trouble when not formerly taught from beginning. Finding hrs
are ticking by with no progress.
no one to quickly ask doesn't help.

Concerning Libraries that i copied & pasted  from 'codebender'  ie FatSd.h
/ FatSd.cpp plus others

Got the 'SdFat' library to load in libraries but then the Sketch couldn't
find it.
I have just Noticed how the *file type column * when opened in folder says
'arduino' when it should be 'cpp' or 'h' like other successful files when
load thu zipfile

*Q - Can someone give me clear instructions how to set up library ie
'FatSd.h/.cpp' from codebender. copied & pasted.  In a clear manner.*
*How to achieve the correct 'file type' etc*
*And how to label folders ie do u have to use capitals 'FatSd' or can it be
'fatsd' ??*

Note - I have noticed in all the examples i have seen of Arduino, having
the correct libraries is not clear enough or even mentioned.
And the tuition videos i have seen don't cover copy & paste situations its
all from zip files etc.

*I am try to run this program for my* **Rfid (reader 125khz Uart) swipe
card date/time stamped csv sd datalogger station**
***program attached***

*Q - If someone has the time to run/compile the program with reference to
the libraries needed & where obtained, it would be good learning example
for me rather than bashing my head against computer.*

I am using Ide 1.6.12 the latest version.
Chinese Uno (which has driver installed & works)
Rtc Sd datalogger shield
Uart Rdif reader. 125khz Loose form, no case (yet to arrive)
Battery Pack
Em4100 cards 125khz

Also i was going to use a typical sealed Rfid door reader $8 (because it
was package bulletproof, so easy to mount)  but found out that it uses
'Manchester coding' for the Rfid.
Found this decoding library.
https://github.com/Sthing/AccessThing/tree/master/Arduino/libraries/EM4100
*Q - How complex is it to graft in this library to the attached program??*
may use it. but if a package Uart Rf reader appears i won't really need it
