Can someone tell me what the difference is between the libraries located at:

\libraries\

and

\hardware\pic32\libraries\

and when the different libraries would be used?

The first one is only used when compiling for Arduino targets. The second is used when compiling for PIC32 (chipKIT) targets.

So if you get a new library, and you want to use it with a chipKIT board, put it in the second path and restart MPLAB IDE.

No, don't put it there - put it in the libraries folder in your sketchbook - that way it survives upgrading MPIDE.

Even better! I didn't even realize there was a libraries folder there. Cool.

... and on UECIDE there's as many libraries folders as you want, each with its own menu entry... ;)

Thanks for the info!
