Compilation error when using "tone()"

Projects Programming
1

Hello! So, my code works just fine and doesn't get any compilation errors, but when I write tone(7, 1000, 100), I get many compilation errors including this: "Multiple libraries were found for "IRremote.h" ", which has nothing to do with "tone()" :o.

Do you have any ideas?
Does there exist sound generating function other than tone()? (By sound generating function I mean a function that can run in parallel with the code).

Do you have any ideas?

Not without seeing the full code and full error message

Full code is so big, I can't fit it here, so I'll attach it :smiley:

This is your error

Tone.cpp.o (symbol from plugin): In function `timer0_pin_port':

(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__vector_13'

You will need to hack one of the libraries to use another timer. I posted a description for the approach how to hack th IRremote library in this thread. Note that the file where you find the stuff depends on the version of the library; for later versions it changed to boarddefs.h.

sterretje, thank you so much! The problem is fixed :grinning: (but in my version of library, "IR_USE_TIMER2" was defined in "boarddefs.h" file).

P.S.
Your research is stunning :o, you're a genius! :grin:
