  Tried the recommended step here http://openbci.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/598/openbci-32bit-compile-error-plib-h-no-such-file-or-directory, to download and use the specified chipkit core https://chipkit.s3.amazonaws.com/chipkit-core/builds/win/chipkit-core-windows.16778039.v1.0.0-27-gdfa0309.zip , but it returns a new error now when I upload the code:

  I'm just guessing here, but I see a mix of forward and backslash folder conventions in your line:

  
  

  pic32-g++: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_375218/core\core.a: No such file or directory
  

  
  

  Is there indeed a 'core.a' in the 'core' folder? Windows does not understand forward slash.

  I noticed that as well, it's gotta be a programming error because the folder structure is fine and I see 'core.a'.

  How do I fix it so that it's writing backward slash instead of forward slash?

  Looks like some problem in the Makefile or auto generated compile lines. I assume your IDE files / folders are all in the proscribed places...

  As far as it concerns the instructions for updating Cyton firmware, yes, the folder structure as it should be.

  Some of the folders for OpenBCI changed after installation, but it runs fine.

  Do you have another laptop (non Windows 10) that you could try? Or even a Mac. Could be something incompatible with this IDE and Win 10.

  
  

  Also, just tried this search, is pulling up some related links,

  I have the same problem and I have tried in two different OS:  Win7 and
  Linux. This error appears in both cases. What is the problem?

  AJ @pushtheworld, do you have any insights? Is it possible the recommended chipKIT core has been changed? Also mentioning @biomurph, @openbci.

  
  

  I have not looked through the "core.a: No such file or directory" search link above. It looks like others (circa 2015) are hitting this message, outside of OpenBCI firmware.

  Does anybody have an answer about this issue? I have been trying to update the firmware since last Thursday but it's still not possible. Do I need to use a different version?
