Help with error message

MRSoClassroom · April 19, 2018, 3:18pm

I am a Grade 6 Teacher trying to figure Arduinos out. My student programmed a pretty cool code (which I have no idea what it does) but we keep getting an error message. Any help is appreciated.

Arduino: 1.6.9 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

failed MSpanList_Insert 0x30c000 0x3f3efa7344c7 0x0

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

Can you use reply->preview to post the program.

My student programmed a pretty cool code (which I have no idea what it does) but we keep getting an error message

How do you know that it is cool if

(a) you don't know what it does
(b) it does not compile, upload and run

As the error is
MSpanList_Insertthen a wild guess would be that an insert of data into an array has strayed outside the bounds of the array but until we see the actual code (in code tags please) then we are working in the dark.

@MRSoClassroom, your error message suggests to me a problem with the Arduino IDE rather than with the Arduino program.

I am not familar with Macs but I have seen cases where the Arduino IDE choked on an Arduino code error probably due to a missing (or an extra) " so that it could not find the end of a piece of text.

Can you upload the Blink example program?

If you can't upload the Blink program I suggest you {A} shut down and restart the PC and if that does not solve the problem {B} delete and re-install the Arduino IDE.

You are using an outdated version of the Arduino IDE. If you update to Arduino IDE 1.8.5, which can be downloaded here:

then the problem will be solved.
