Hello !

I get the following message error. I have only changed the output variable type of the function. I have now idea what arduino is telling me.

Arduino: 1.6.4 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

Does anyone understands arduino?
Thanks a lot!

Should of posted your code.

But it looks like you have a header file prototype returning a unsigned int, and the .ino returning a signed int, so you'll either need to change both to use either a signed our a unsigned

Thanks, it was exactly that.
Awesome, it finally compiles without any error!!!
