HCSR04 failes randomized in compiler

[joehan]

Hi everyone,

im confused about the usage of the HCSR04 library.

There are several variations at iot and sometimes the definision works, sometimes not.

For example:
#include <HCSR04.h>
and
UltraSonicDistanceSensor sr04(TRIG_PIN, ECHO_PIN);

Just a view minutes ago the codecheck throw an error at the line
UltraSonicDistanceSensor sr04(TRIG_PIN, ECHO_PIN);
It cant find the library(undefined device) . . .

A view seconds ago the compiler runs clean - no changes made!!!????
It's repeatable!

It cant find the library(undefined device) .

Post the actual error message, please.

A good example - compiled the whole code 2 times without failures.
No changes made, at third time i get this:

/tmp/167253859/LigthsOnWifi-TreppeUnten_jul22a/LigthsOnWifi-TreppeUnten_jul22a.ino:43:1: error: 'UltraSonicDistanceSensor' does not name a type; did you mean 'CloudContactSensor'? UltraSonicDistanceSensor sr04(TRIG_PIN, ECHO_PIN); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CloudContactSensor

#include <HCSR04.h>
and
UltraSonicDistanceSensor sr04(TRIG_PIN, ECHO_PIN);

Post your code in code tags?

[joehan]

Makes no difference between things-editor and full editor.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not . .

[joehan]

If have to post code, i will post it in tags . . .

I dont wonder about this behavior.
The iot-Cloud knows 3 variants of HCSR04.
Guess it can't decide which to use.

// Simple_HCSR04 - Version: Latest
#include <Arduino.h>
// HCSR04 ultrasonic sensor - Version: Latest
#include <HCSR04.h>
// HCSR04 - Version: Latest
#include <HCSR04.h>

@ Idahowalker
Better?

I'm out. Good luck.
