current transformer switch relay (errormessage)

Projects Programming

I have copied a sketch from a youtube video and its the first sketch for me.

I want to do the exact same thing as in the video, switching a relay when AC current is detected to control a fan.

Im stuck with the code tho, it will not compile the sketch, just a lot of error messages. Any help is appriciated.

Here is the error message:

Arduino:1.8.5 (Windows Store 1.8.10.0) (Windows 10), Kort:"Arduino Nano, ATmega168"

C:/CTfet.ino: In function 'void loop()':

This is not the way to do it . You need to play with your Arduino and run the examples, learn how they work , learn how to code and debug stuff . Downloading something off the web that you don’t understand is not the way to do it and makes it hard to help- the web is full of stuff that doesn’t work.

Sorry
