Error Message compiling

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hello and thanks in advance for any help I am new to all of this so please bear with me.

Im trying to upload a code on to a mega board but not sure how to post the code properly. also I think it may be too big to post but not sure.

anyways here is the error message that im getting...

ino:41:31: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token

Error compiling.

if I understand thigs right im missing something probably a '(' somewhere but how to I go about tracking this down? thanks again for help

jlyman28:
ino:41:31: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token

Line 41, 31st space. There's where he expected a )

#3

ok thanks, now is that the 41st line total or is only counting uncommented lines?

#4

Here is the beginning of the code that should include line 41 either way

You’re either missing a value before the “)” or you have an extra comma.

:slight_smile:

ok I found it, there was an exra , after the 2, thanks for the help

No problem, good luck with your project! :stuck_out_tongue:
