Hello, very newb to arduino. I have the Sparkfun RedBoard Artemis Nano SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano - DEV-15443 - SparkFun Electronics and the newer Sparkfun Serial Controlled Motor Driver SparkFun Serial Controlled Motor Driver - ROB-13911 - SparkFun Electronics
I've been able to successfully read POT values with it and led blinking on it, so I know I can compile and upload ok. I don't necessarily have it wired/hooked up correctly to work with the scmd, but I assume that shouldn't give a compile error.
I'm trying to experiment with the example "MotorTest" to learn more about how to build a custom servo controller (which may be the wrong way to learn). However in the Arduino IDE (1.8.15 and I've tried earlier versions), it starts to compile, but then gives some errors and I don't know how to troubleshoot those errors. Probably because I don't know anything about arduino. I may be trying to do something that is completely wrong. My "layman's" interpretation of the errors lead me to believe the program is trying to call functions that don't exist in the library it's calling.
This is the MotorTest example program I'm trying to compile:

The 4 errors seem to have something to do with:
