On errors like these, usually the error is a few lines back.

Post the complete sketch, and use the </> icon.

Somebody needs to take a tutorial on basic c expression syntax. [] are NOT used for grouping expressions....

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Please read the first post in any forum entitled how to use this forum.
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,148850.0.html then look down to item #7 about how to post your code.
It will be formatted in a scrolling window that makes it easier to read.

Thanks.. Tom.. :slight_smile:

[] are for array subscripting, () are for expression grouping.

Not only that, but '^' ain't exponentiation.

KeithRB:

To put it another way, OP: please google "C++ tutorial" and lear the basics of the C++ programming language. You cannot copy-paste MATLAB or Perl into a sketch and expect the gcc compiler to understand it.
