Help us help you.

Use code tags (the </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination

How to get the best out of this forum

Use the IDE autoformat tool (ctrl-t or Tools, Auto format) before posting code in code tags.

C++ For Loop

Every { needs a } in the proper place.

Compare your for loop

for loop {(int pedCounter = 

with the ones from the link.

Your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for problems with (nor for advice on) your project.

[biggusdikus]

Thank you for your help, but the same error occurs

[sterretje]

So, post your new sketch in a new reply here (don't update the opening post); we can't see the modifcations that you made. And as requested in post #3, use code tags when posting code.

Make experienced users help: two ways to quickly post code as a code-section

Hi newcomer, This thread wants to show you how you can speed-up getting helpful answers with small effort. If you manage at least to post this way. You have the sympathy of the experienced users. If you are willing to invest another 20 minutes these 20 minutes extra-time will save you a minimum of 200 minutes to finish your project. always post your full sketch. As a code-section from the very first to the very last line A code-section has a small height => keeps your posting "short" but…

[Idahowalker]

Did you happen to post the code you changed that does not work in a new post with code tags?

[gcjr]

do you see something wrong when the code is more properly formated?

@biggusdikus

Please consult the manual on for loop syntax and fix this:

@biggusdikus

for loop {(int pedCounter = 100; pedCounter > 99; pedCounter = pedCounter + stepVal;

useless line:

@biggusdikus

buttonState==HIGH){
