My code is receiving an error, and I am using a tutorial.
The tutorial is located at this webpage: http://blog.tinyenormous.com/2009/09/30/17-arduino-nikon-ir-intervalometer-code/

The code that I need help with is as follows:

Code:

void snap(){
int i;
digitalWrite(PIN_STATUS,  1);  
          for(i=0;i”);
          sequence[i] = (sequence[i] * FREQ) / (intervalle * 1000);
          Serial.println(sequence[i]);
      }
}

The error:

Code:

stray '/' in program

Code:

    for(i=0;i”);

source of your error

Thank you, now how can I fix it? I am not familiar with this syntax, however, I know lua, and sometimes it gets confusing.

[Reply #3 on:]

I thought you're going off a tutorial.
Here's instructions on for loop

[Reply #4 on:]

I am, but the tutorial code is incorrect, so could you help me fix this one line of code?

[Reply #5 on:]

Here is exactly how to do it:

Code:

for(i=0; i<100; i++){
     sequence[i] = (sequence[i] * FREQ) / (intervalle * 1000);
     Serial.println(sequence[i]);
}

The i<100 means it would repeat 100 times. Which is repeat until i is no longer smaller than 100. i++ means add one every time the for() function runs.

Read more about the for function:

Thank you, but now I get the error intervalle was not declared in this scope.
If needed, here is the full code:

[Reply #7 on:]

intervelle is declare in loop(), but you are trying to use it in snap(). It should be made global.

[Reply #8 on:]

Like I said, I have no coding experience besides lua, and so I will need help making this global. What do I need to change?

[Reply #9 on:]

Like I said, I have no coding experience besides lua

But you have Google, don't you?

Try googling C++ global scope to see some simple examples.

[Reply #10 on:]

Ok, and if it gets moved to become a global variable, will it still be able to change as the pot changes?

[Reply #11 on:]

will it still be able to change as the pot changes?

It doesn't do that now.
