bounce errors

Projects General Guidance

hey
im trying to use some cos i found to make a timelapse dolly but it comes back with some errors like bounce does not name a type

this is the line i think may be causing the problem as its highlighted in yellow when i try to verify or run the code

Bounce bouncer1 = Bounce(button1, 15); //deblounce (button, milliseconds)

and these are the errors

'Bounce' does not name a type
timelapselcd:25: error: 'Bounce' does not name a type
timelapselcd:26: error: 'Bounce' does not name a type
timelapselcd:27: error: 'Bounce' does not name a type
timelapselcd:28: error: 'Bounce' does not name a type
timelapselcd.ino: In function 'void loop()':
timelapselcd:59: error: 'bouncer1' was not declared in this scope
timelapselcd:60: error: 'bouncer2' was not declared in this scope
timelapselcd:61: error: 'bouncer3' was not declared in this scope
timelapselcd:62: error: 'bouncer4' was not declared in this scope

Any help would be appreciated

thanks :slight_smile:

sorry had to split the code in to to make it go on because its quite long

thanks :smiley:

Read this and then edit your posts to use code tags: How to post code properly

sorry im a newbie Newbie thanks for the tip :slight_smile:

I tried your code and other than having to fix up my copy of the Bounce library so that it uses Arduino.h instead of WProgram.h, it compiled without problem. So my guess is that you haven't got the Bounce library installed.
In the IDE menu File|Preferences, select Show verbose output during compilation and then recompile the code. I think you will now get a warning message saying that it couldn't find Bounce.h

Once you have the Bounce library installed, it should compile properly.
