chessboard // expected declaration before '}' token error.

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hello friends,

So i have been working on this project of mine. Basicly im trying to make my own version of the square off chessboard ( https://squareoffnow.com/ )

i’m trying to write my own chess engine for arduino, since i cant seem to find one online.

I do have some code written down, but i keep getting this one error that i just can’t seem to fix. the error states: “expected declaration before ‘}’ token error.”

does anyone here know what i am doing wrong? i have left my code down under here. the red part is where i am getting the error.

thanks in advance!

ps. if anyone does know a working chess engine for arduino, i would love it if you could share it with me! i would save me a big headache!

It would be easier to help you if you post the entire error message(s). Your paraphrasing leaves out important information like the file that contains the error and the line number. Use the copy error button (lower right in the IDE) and paste into code tags.

Post code in code tags, not quote.

this is the full error:

thanks again for your time!

The name 'B1' is already in use by the Arduino software. They defined a name for every combination of binary digits from 1 bit to 8 bits long: B0, B1, B00, B01, B10, B11, B000, B001, B010,... B11111110, B11111111
