Hi everyone I am trying to run this sketch, theoretically it should work as written and tested by many other users but in my case it gives me this error.  
do you know how to fix the situation?  
the file can be downloaded at:

> **[Scott-Cooper/Drawbot\_image\_to\_gcode\_v2](https://github.com/Scott-Cooper/Drawbot_image_to_gcode_v2)**
>
> Creates gcode for use on drawbots. Contribute to Scott-Cooper/Drawbot\_image\_to\_gcode\_v2 development by creating an account on GitHub.

Processing’s IDE (PDE) requires the name of a sketch folder matches the name of its main “.pde” file.

For example, in this Processing repo below we have a folder named “Grumbo\_Adventure\_OOP/”:

> **[GitHub - GoSubRoutine/Grumbo](https://github.com/GoSubRoutine/Grumbo)**
>
> Contribute to GoSubRoutine/Grumbo development by creating an account on GitHub.

And inside that folder we find its corresponding “.pde” filename “Grumbo\_Adventure\_OOP.pde”:

- [Grumbo/Grumbo\_Adventure\_OOP at master · GoSubRoutine/Grumbo · GitHub](http://GitHub.com/GoSubRoutine/Grumbo/tree/master/Grumbo_Adventure_OOP)

The main “.pde” file is the 1 that contains the callbacks **settings()** and/or **setup()** btW.

In short, it’s Processing’s entry point “.pde” file.

I can run it without problems.

Just download as ZIP, extract locally and make sure you have all the tabs / pde files in processing: Backgroud Ball Display Grumbo…
