Like many other people, I got an Arduino starter kit for Christmas this year. I love it! And for my first project with it, I decided to try putting together an alarm clock. I’m using some code I found on the Internet for it, which will allow me to use the IR remote that came with the kit, an array of LEDs (honestly not sure of their purpose), and and an active buzzer for the alarm.
The exact modules I’m using are an LCD1602 screen and a DS3231 RTC module. The original code used a DS1302 RTC module, but I think I’ve fixed the code using that module to use mine instead (Feel free to confirm that for me in my code below).
When I try to verify my code, I get this error: no matching function for call to 'LiquidCrystal::LiquidCrystal(int, int). Below I’ll have my code file attached for you to check. Is there something I have written in incorrectly, or anything obvious I missed? Whatever the case, what can I do to fix this error?
For more reference, I’ll include the wiring diagram I got from the code’s original author. The picture shows a temperature sensor which I’m not using, and the DS1302 module plugged directly into the breadboard (where mine is connected with jumper cables directly to the UNO R3 board).
Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and for helping me with this issue.
