byte data type

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi friends,
can i use arduino libraries for other controllers? I am trying to 1 library for other controller but that library uses 'byte' data type which is normal to understand by Arduino IDE but is giving error for my IDE.
I tried to fix this by 'typedef byte unsigned char' but is not working.

kindly help me to solve this issue.. :confused:

Arduino IDE normally uderstand to "byte" because it is defined by typedef in the Arduino.h.
You have to shift over the keywords. It have to be:
"typedef unsigned char byte;"
to work.

typedef type-declaration synonym;

You need to look at some of the other posts to see what is accepted standard practice when you post on the forum.
