Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Am new to this, I have a pro micro and am trying to make a button box.
when i verify the code this error comes up. I'm in over my head and some clarification on what the issue is would be great. thanks in advance.

Error compiling for board Arduino Pro or Pro Mini.

2

You wrote that you have Pro micro, but selected Pro Mini when verified your code. What board do you use actually?

Library Joystick is not suited for Pro mini.

3

i have a pro micro. the list of borads in the tools tab said Arduino pro or pro mini. it does not have Arduino pro micro. i thought Arduino pro meant the micro, i assume I'm wrong?

4

If Leonardo in the list - select it

5

Selected it. now have this error

have fix the post. sorry

11

your loop() is inside of setup()

The C language does not allow the nested functions

12

sorry I'm very new to this. how do i fix it?

13

move one right curly bracket, now situated after loop() code - in line after setup()

void setup() {
                   // line 2
void loop() {

  CheckAllEncoders();
  CheckAllButtons();
  CheckAllPotentiometers();
 
}

}              // <== move this bracket above to the line marked 2
14

The Arduino Pro Micro has a different microcontroller ATMega32u4 which has native USB-support inside the microcontroller itself

The Arduino Pro Mini is based on the ATMega328P-microcontroller an additional chip for the USB-connection.

change

to this

void setup() {
  // first line inside the function setup()
  // ..
  // ..
  // last line inside the function setup()
} // <== closing curly brace of function setup()

void loop() { // <== opening curly brace of function loop()
  // first line inside the function loop()

  CheckAllEncoders();
  CheckAllButtons();
  CheckAllPotentiometers();
 
  // last line inside the function loop()
} // <== closing curly brace of function loop

You seem to be a real beginner.
You should either learn a good amount of basics how to use arduinos / arduino-IDE
or
just use projects with a step by step manual where each and every tiny single step is shown by screenshots.

manuals like

"upload this code to the arduino"

are born to fail with knowing nothing about how to use the arduino-ide

best regards Stefan

So i gave up on this code and edited some code from a YouTube tutorial on building a button box. its working great now. sorry for wasting your time, must be very frustrating to explain to people that have no idea. I will have to learn the basics before starting a new project.

Thank you for the help.
