Projects Programming
1

statement cannot resolve adress of overloaded function
what does that mean?????

2

Isn't it obvious?
(Is there something wrong with your punctuation keys?)

3

nope
im a newbie

4

;lcd.print("[ o ]")
that is the line it says the error is

5

Ever thought of posting code?

i am trying to make a ping pong game code:

// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup() {
  // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows: 
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  // Print a message to the LCD.
  lcd.print("arduino pingpong");
}

void loop() {;
  // set the cursor to column 0, line 1
  // (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[       o      ]")
  ;delay(500)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("PING        PONG")
  ;delay(500)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[      o       ]")
  ;lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
  ;lcd.print("       GO!      ")
  ;lcd.setCursor(0, 0)
  ;lcd.print("[     o        ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[    o         ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[   o          ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[ o            ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[o             ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  //change dirction
  ;lcd.print("[ o            ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[   o          ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[      o       ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[         o    ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[            o ]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  ;lcd.print("[             o]")
  ;delay(10)
  ;lcd.clear
  
  
;}

 lcd.clear

Is that all?

You'll find code easier to follow if the semicolons go at the end of lines, like full-stops (periods, if you must)

8

u mean clear all, then yes
if not do you mean where it highlights from when i compile it, then no its
;lcd.print("[ o ]")

9

";" go on the other side of the function. As such

lcd.print("[ o ]"); <= proper place

lcd.clear(); <= need to include "();"

void loop() {; <= what is this doing here?
.
.
.
;} <= and here?

10

LCD.clear; doesn't make a lot of sense.

11

When i take the brakets from the front i get another error,
but puting the colon at the end got the same error

12

Fix it first, and then show us the new errors.

13

lcd.clear clears the lcd,btw i have an lcd on a proto shield on arduino

14

What do mean "front"?
Have you ever seen any code looking like what you have posted?
Do you think there might be a reason for that?

15

when i do that i get this error
expected ';' before 'lcd'

16

lcd.clear clears the lcd,btw

No, LCD.clear (); may clear the LCD, but LCD.clear; most certainly does not.

17

Post your fixed code, and we will see where the error is.

18

when i look at other code it doesent have that, but if i don't i get that error: so what do i do
expected ';' before 'lcd'

19

i_luv_arduino:
so what do i do

If you're not going to post your updated code, then I would say stop posting would be the thing to do.

20

lcd.clear; doesn't do what you think.
lcd.clear(); does do what you think.
Can you see the difference?

If you want to post obfuscated C, there's a forum for that.
This is not that forum.
Put semicolons at the end of lines, not the beginning.

Fix your code, then we can talk.
