These are the errors when compiling ino 28 on the arduino uno/mega:

sketch_mar24a:254: error: variable or field 'sendServoEvent' declared void
sketch_mar24a:254: error: 'servo_type' was not declared in this scope
sketch_mar24a:254: error: 's' was not declared in this scope
sketch_mar24a:254: error: expected primary-expression before 'int'
sketch_mar24a.ino: In function 'void loop()':
sketch_mar24a:655: error: 'sendServoEvent' was not declared in this scope
sketch_mar24a:987: error: 'sendServoEvent' was not declared in this scope
sketch_mar24a:1000: error: 'sendServoEvent' was not declared in this scope

Thanks GroG

I asked Mastablasta to make this post to be able to see the error, since I can't reproduce it.

Hi Mats,
The line you commented out here 

https://github.com/MyRobotLab/myrobotlab/blob/develop/src/resource/Ardu…

is a C prototype for the method here

https://github.com/MyRobotLab/myrobotlab/blob/develop/src/resource/Ardu…

In most C code, if a method is used before it is defined, it needs to have a prototype.  This lets the C pre-processor know "Hey, there's going to be references to this method in the below code .. don't worry about it.. we will define it completely in a little while"

I don't know, but I'm going to assume that you have a later version of the IDE, and Mastablasta has an older version.  So the pre-processor in your Arduino IDE might be "smarter"

But I'm going to uncomment it.  I don't understand why you commented it out ..  were you trying to clean things up a little ?

 

the MRLComm version on the Java side is defined in ArduinoMsgCodec

Hi Grog

I got a problem similar to the problem Mastablasta has now. At one point I had tree different definitions of sendServoEvent. So my first test was to comment out the C prototype. That didn't help, because the real problem was that I had copied the sendServoEvent so that exactly the same definitions of it existed twice. When I removed the duplicated code, the compiler worked, so I didn't put the prototype back. Since it seems like the prototype is neccesary for older versions of the IDE, it's reasonable to put it back in again. 

Thanks for helping me.

Compiling the ino 28 on Arduino IDE 1.6.8 did not work, using IDE 1.0.5 no problems. You are right Mats.

Arduino: 1.6.8 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Sketch uses 11,746 bytes (36%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 1,604 bytes (78%) of dynamic memory, leaving 444 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
Low memory available, stability problems may occur.

This part is from the compile:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sketch uses 11,746 bytes (36%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.

Global variables use 1,604 bytes (78%) of dynamic memory, leaving 444 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

Low memory available, stability problems may occur.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I get the same warnings, but it still works. This is not a problem.

The rest of the messages are from loading the sketch to the Ardino. 

Please check that you have selected the correct board, port and programmer in the tools meny.

I use ArduinoISP as programmer.

Thanks Jens,

This is not a compiling problem,  

as Mats stated - this usually happens when the wrong board is selected on the upload.

Heh, the 444 byte thingy is just a warning...

Its a Arduino IDE issue not a MRLComm one (I think)
