compiling error for color mixing lamp

Hi,

I was using this code:

const int greenLEDPin = 9;    // LED connected to digital pin 9
const int redLEDPin = 10;     // LED connected to digital pin 10
const int blueLEDPin = 11;    // LED connected to digital pin 11

const int redSensorPin = A0;  // pin with the photoresistor with the red gel 
const int greenSensorPin = A1;   // pin with the photoresistor with the green gel 
const int blueSensorPin = A2;   // pin with the photoresistor with the blue gel 

int redValue = 0; // value to write to the red LED
int greenValue = 0; // value to write to the green LED
int blueValue = 0; // value to write to the blue LED

int redSensorValue = 0; // variable to hold the value from the red sensor 
int greenSensorValue = 0; // variable to hold the value from the green sensor 
int blueSensorValue = 0; // variable to hold the value from the blue sensor 

void setup() {
  // initialize serial communications at 9600 bps:
  Serial.begin(9600); 

  // set the digital pins as outputs
  pinMode(greenLEDPin,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(redLEDPin,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(blueLEDPin,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Read the sensors first:
  
  // read the value from the red-filtered photoresistor:
  redSensorValue = analogRead(redSensorPin);
  // give the ADC a moment to settle
  delay(5);
  // read the value from the green-filtered photoresistor:
  greenSensorValue = analogRead(greenSensorPin);
  // give the ADC a moment to settle
  delay(5);
  // read the value from the blue-filtered photoresistor:
  blueSensorValue = analogRead(blueSensorPin);  

  // print out the values to the serial monitor  
  Serial.print("raw sensor Values \t red: ");
  Serial.print(redSensorValue);
  Serial.print("\t green: ");
  Serial.print(greenSensorValue);
  Serial.print("\t Blue: ");
  Serial.println(blueSensorValue);

  /*
  In order to use the values from the sensor for the LED, 
  you need to do some math. The ADC provides a 10-bit number, 
  but analogWrite() uses 8 bits. You'll want to divide your 
  sensor readings by 4 to keep them in range of the output. 
  */
  redValue = redSensorValue/4;
  greenValue = greenSensorValue/4;
  blueValue = blueSensorValue/4;  

  //  print out the mapped values  
  Serial.print("Mapped sensor Values \t red: ");
  Serial.print(redValue);
  Serial.print("\t green: ");
  Serial.print(greenValue);
  Serial.print("\t Blue: ");
  Serial.println(blueValue); 

  /*
  Now that you have a usable value, it's time to PWM the LED.
  */
  analogWrite(redLEDPin, redValue);
  analogWrite(greenLEDPin, greenValue);
  analogWrite(blueLEDPin, blueValue);
}

And I received this error:

What am I doing wrong?

It's probably not caused by anything you did wrong. This looks like the Arduino IDE is malfunctioning in some way. Try closing all Arduino IDE windows on your computer and then restart the IDE. That will clear the cache, which might make the problem go away.

If that doesn't do it, come back and we can try something else.

undefined reference to `main'

The fix for this is probably to uninstall and re-install the Arduino IDE. 'main' isn't something that you have to write, it comes with the programming environment.

Closed the IDE, restarted the computer and it worked...Voila! thank you.
