exit status 1

[tomed3210]

Could someone explain what a exit status 1 and compiling error is?


Thank you

[PaulS]

Could someone explain what a exit status 1 and compiling error is?

An exit status of 1 means that there was a problem compiling, linking, or uploading some code.

The compiling error message means that the process didn't even make it past the compile step.

Now that I know this, What do I do? The sketch came with the robot I purchased.

Now that I know this, What do I do?

Fix the code. If you need help, print out a copy, and mail it to every forum member.

Or post it here.

The sketch came with the robot I purchased.

And, of course, you've selected that robot from the Tools + Board menu. Or is that a silly assumption?

If you're using the Arduino IDE you should set your Preferences to verbose output for compile and upload. A description of the exact error will be present.

If you're using the Arduino IDE you should set your Preferences to verbose output for compile and upload. A description of the exact error will be present.

^^^ Excellent tip, many thanks. I was getting the same exit status 1 error but changing the preferences as you suggested led me straight to the error in my code. It's also nice to see a detail about what exactly is happening during verify and compile. Kudos to you :-)

Every day's a school day...

I have the same problem - I am trying to get the Trinket to work a servo and am not sure what part of the coder is wrong. Here is the code which I copied off the Adafruit Soft Servo Library- https://learn.adafruit.com/trinket-gemma-servo-control/code.

Can anyone help?

/*******************************************************************
  SoftServo sketch for Adafruit Trinket.  Turn the potentiometer knob
  to set the corresponding position on the servo
  (0 = zero degrees, full = 180 degrees)
 
  Required library is the Adafruit_SoftServo library
  available at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SoftServo
  The standard Arduino IDE servo library will not work with 8 bit
  AVR microcontrollers like Trinket and Gemma due to differences
  in available timer hardware and programming. We simply refresh
  by piggy-backing on the timer0 millis() counter
 
  Required hardware includes an Adafruit Trinket microcontroller
  a servo motor, and a potentiometer (nominally 1Kohm to 100Kohm
 
  As written, this is specifically for the Trinket although it should
  be Gemma or other boards (Arduino Uno, etc.) with proper pin mappings
 
  Trinket:        USB+   Gnd   Pin #0  Pin #2 A1
  Connection:     Servo+  -    Servo1   Potentiometer wiper
 
 *******************************************************************/

#include <Adafruit_SoftServo.h>  // SoftwareServo (works on non PWM pins)

#define SERVO1PIN 0   // Servo control line (orange) on Trinket Pin #0

#define POTPIN   1   // Potentiometer sweep (center) on Trinket Pin #2 (Analog 1)

Adafruit_SoftServo myServo1, myServo2;  //create TWO servo objects
   
void setup() {
  // Set up the interrupt that will refresh the servo for us automagically
  OCR0A = 0xAF;            // any number is OK
  TIMSK |= _BV(OCIE0A);    // Turn on the compare interrupt (below!)
 
  myServo1.attach(SERVO1PIN);   // Attach the servo to pin 0 on Trinket
  myServo1.write(90);           // Tell servo to go to position per quirk
  delay(15);                    // Wait 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}

void loop()  {
  int potValue;  // variable to read potentiometer
  int servoPos;  // variable to convert voltage on pot to servo position
  potValue=analogRead(POTPIN);                // Read voltage on potentiometer
  servoPos = map(potValue, 0, 1023, 0, 179);  // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)
  myServo1.write(servoPos);                    // tell servo to go to position

  delay(15);                              // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}

// We'll take advantage of the built in millis() timer that goes off
// to keep track of time, and refresh the servo every 20 milliseconds
// The SIGNAL(TIMER0_COMPA_vect) function is the interrupt that will be
// Called by the microcontroller every 2 milliseconds
volatile uint8_t counter = 0;
SIGNAL(TIMER0_COMPA_vect) {
  // this gets called every 2 milliseconds
  counter += 2;
  // every 20 milliseconds, refresh the servos!
  if (counter >= 20) {
    counter = 0;
    myServo1.refresh();
  }
}

Can anyone help?

The code either compiles or it doesn't. You haven't said which.

If it doesn't compile, there are some useful (to us, at least) error messages printed. You must share them (AND post your code correctly; yours is NOT posted correctly, but you could fix that).

If it does, the code does something when it runs. You haven't said what it does. You expect the code to do something. You haven't said what. All we know is that what it does is not what you want.

Asking for help is like asking for directions. You have to say where you are AND where you want to go and how you want to get there.

[Wrightjk284]

The code doesn't compile.  I get the following error message:

exit status 1
Error compiling.

Not sure what to do.

[PaulS]

What board are you compiling the code for?

Required hardware includes an Adafruit Trinket microcontroller

Is that what you have?

[Chagrin]

In reply #4 I stated it was necessary to turn on verbose messages for compile and upload to see more than just "exit status 1". When you do that you will then see the appropriate error messages.

Obviously you have not downloaded, or properly installed, or both, the dht11 library you are trying to use.

Did you mean DHT11.h ?  Not the same as dht11.h
