Compiling error for Arduino Code

sam2767 · January 14, 2023, 10:49am

I'm having trouble troubleshooting my IDE C++ code as you can probably tell I'm fairly new to coding and don't have much experience so would help if someone could help troubleshoot this for me. In case you're wondering I'm using PWM to control a DC motor

```cpp

//#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <LCDKeypad.h>
LCDKeypad lcd;

// Define keycodes
#define None 0
//#define Select   1
#define Left 4
#define Up 2
#define Down 3
//#define Right    5

//float pwm_value=50;

// Pin for analog keypad
#define diy_pwm A2  //was A2
// PWM output pin
#define pwm 3
// Motor direction pin
#define dir 2

// Variable to represent PWM value
int pwm_value = 20;



void setup() {

  // Setup LCD
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.clear();

  // Define Pins
  pinMode(pwm, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(dir, OUTPUT);

  TCCR2B = TCCR2B & B11111000 | 0x01;  //B00000010;
}

void loop() {
  while (1) {
    // Scan keypad to determine which button was pressed

    // Toggle motor direction if LEFT button pressed
    if (lcd.button() == Left) {
      digitalWrite(dir, !digitalRead(dir));
      delay(200);
    }

    // Increase motor speed if UP button pressed
    if (lcd.button() == Up) {
      //pwm_value++;
      pwm_value = pwm_value + 5;
      delay(200);
      lcd.clear();
    }

    // Decrease motor speed if DOWN button pressed
    else if (lcd.button() == Down) {
      //pwm_value--;
      pwm_value = pwm_value - 5;
      delay(200);
      lcd.clear();
    }

    // Ensure PWM value ranges from 0 to 255
    if (pwm_value > 255)
      pwm_value = 255;
    else if (pwm_value < 0)
      pwm_value = 0;

    // Send PWM to output pin
    analogWrite(pwm, pwm_value);

    // Display results on LCD
    lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
    lcd.print("PWM:");
    lcd.print(pwm_value);
    lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
    lcd.print("DIR:");
    lcd.print(digitalRead(dir));
  }
}

Help us help you.

Please follow the advice given in this link How to get the best out of this forum when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'.

Images of code suck.

Use code tags (the </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy code for examination

Use the IDE autoformat tool (ctrl-t or Tools, Auto format) before posting code in code tags.

Images of error messages suck.

Code snippets suck.

Include the entire error message. It is easy to do. There is a button (lower right of the IDE window) called "copy error message". Copy the error and paste into a post in code tags. Paraphrasing the error message leaves out important information.

Post a schematic.

Post an image of your project.

Which Micro Controller are you using?

Is this simulator code?

Please describe the problem better then you just did.

ruilviana · January 14, 2023, 12:02pm

Hi,
The error is caused because you commented out the line:
//#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
this library is required.

Remove the comment and your code should compile without errors.
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

The IDE is trying to include LCDKeypad.h from OneDrive.
See this.

sam2767 · January 14, 2023, 11:36am

Perfect that solved most of the issues. The remaining error messages that are still occurring are these: If you could troubleshoot these mate that would be so unbelievably helpful thanks

i.e the code is the same as it was in the above post

I think you need to install this using Arduino IDE Manage Libraries...

TomGeorge · January 14, 2023, 2:09pm

Hi, @sam2767
Is this thread the same as this?

Tom..

pert · January 14, 2023, 2:11pm

I have merged your cross-posts @sam2767.

Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.

Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.

In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Another cross-post merged. @sam2767 you're begging for a suspension. It is time for you to start behaving more respectfully.

Hi,
When you loaded the TGP LCD Keypad library, did you select to "Install All", that would load the missing Boutons Library.
