irRemote - irSend simple demo not compiling.

[roguehippo]

im using the arduino remote library here.

im programming on a Lattepanda with an arduino leonardo i think.

im just trying to run the simple irSendDemo.ino in the examples folder.

here it is:

Code: [Select]

/*
 * IRremote: IRsendDemo - demonstrates sending IR codes with IRsend
 * An IR LED must be connected to Arduino PWM pin 3.
 * Version 0.1 July, 2009
 * Copyright 2009 Ken Shirriff

 */


#include <IRremote.h>

IRsend irsend;

void setup()
{
}

void loop() {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
irsend.sendSony(0xa90, 12);
delay(40);
}
delay(5000); //5 second delay between each signal burst
}

it stops compiling and gives me the error message

"Arduino: 1.0.6 (Windows NT (unknown)), Board: "Arduino Leonardo"

In file included from IRsendDemo.ino:10:

C:\Users\lattepanda\Documents\Arduino\libraries\IRremote/IRremote.h:365: error: ISO C++ forbids initialization of member 'sendPin'

C:\Users\lattepanda\Documents\Arduino\libraries\IRremote/IRremote.h:365: error: making 'sendPin' static"

i looked through the irremote.h and irsend and they both dont have static variables and im not declaring any static variables so i have no idea why it would be doing this.

I am pretty sure its finding the library correctly. any suggestions? thanks

Version 1.0.6 of the Arduino IDE is very old. Is there any reason you are not using the latest version?

I had not noticed that the version i was using was so old, im pretty new to this. I will update and see if that helps. thanks!
