Hello!
I tried to build both examples for the BiColor LED example set found here Arduino Playground - BiColorLED
I received this error message:
C:\Users\GCL\Documents\Arduino\libraries\BiColorLED/BiColorLED.h:24: note: BiColorLED::BiColorLED(const BiColorLED&)
BiColorLED.cpp: In function 'void loop()':
BiColorLED.pde:-1: error: 'class BiColorLED' has no member named 'getColor'
And it first surfaced with this one:
#include <BiColorLED.h>
// Simple demo of features available in V1.0 of the BiColorLED library
// (C) 2012 Wolfgang Faust
// To see the effects of this example, just plug a bi-color LED
// into pins 4 and 5, along with the appropriate resistors.
BiColorLED led=BiColorLED(4,5); // (pin 1, pin 2)
unsigned long time; // Time the colour was last changed
void setup() {
// BiColorLED doesn't need anything here
}
void loop() {
// Change the colour once each second; Order: 1, 3, 2
if (millis()-time > 1000) {
int color=led.getColor();
if (color == 1) {
color=3;
} else if (color == 3) {
color=2;
} else if (color == 2) {
color=1;
} else { // Starts at 0, or in case anything bizzarre happens to the color var
color=1;
}
led.setColor(color);
time=millis(); // Keep track of time of colour change.
}
// led.drive() MUST be called frequently (at least once every 10 ms)
// for the yellow to work. Otherwise, it will just stay red or green.
// This means that you should avoid calling delay().
// Before 10ms, there is no flicker visible
// At ~10ms, there is a barely noticible `jitter'
// At ~15ms, the flickering is quite obvious.
led.drive();
}Oddly enough the errors also repeated themselves here:
#include <BiColorLED.h>
// Simple demo of blinking using BiColorLED library
// Requires v1.1 or greater
// (C) 2012 Wolfgang Faust
// To see the effects of this example, just plug a bi-color LED
// into pins 4 and 5, along with the appropriate resistors.
BiColorLED led=BiColorLED(4,5); // (pin 1, pin 2)
unsigned long lb; // Time the colour was last changed
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
led.setColor(1);
led.setColor2(2);
led.setBlinkSpeed(1000);
}
void loop() {
// led.drive() MUST be called for blinking (and yellow) to work.
led.drive();
if (lb != led.lastBlink) {
Serial.print(led.blinkSpeed);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.println(led.lastBlink);
lb=led.lastBlink;
}
}
To be honest this is the first time I've seen that error before and I've got no idea what did cause it. I might add I just returned to the Arduino from a long absence and am pleased to see the arrival of version 1.01 of the IDE.
Update: I've tried it on the earlier releases. And it seems that on most of them they seem to work, I did get interesting errors on one but not the other.
