Hi,
when I try to compile the reprap arduino firmware 1.3 I got this:
error: 'char word [128]' redeclared as different kind of symbol
what do I have to do ?
'word' happens to be a variable type aswell: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Word
Hello,
Sorry but what Should I do ?
Do I have to put 16 instead 128?
"word" may be reserved, but "Word" isn't.
Good Evening,
I replaced "word" to "Word" , and I could compiled the code, I`m going to test it ......... thanks a lot
Sorry for the questions, but I`m new in this :-[
Basically, some words cannot be used because they allready have a meaning. While it is possible to add new meanings or replace old ones.. (this is called 'overloading'), it is by no means something that a starter should try.
Words like 'int', 'char' and coincidently, 'word', have a meaning. The three words I used as an example in the previous sentence are all data types, variable types.
An int is a 16 bit number, a char is a character (an 8bit number representing a character according to the ASCII table, see http://www.asciitable.com ).
You would probably benefit greatly from a basic programming tutorial, the language doesn't matter too much, the use of variables, and data types, should be present in a beginner tutorial for nearly any programming language.
