Hello,
I'm a beginner with the Arduino and I'm having trouble with my code.
I've essentially got 5 different functions that control the lights on LED strips, and then I've got code on Processing (another program) that plays one of two audio tracks when the keys 'h' or 'r' are pressed. The processing code also returns the numbers 1 and 2 respectively when either of these tracks are played.
I used the inbuilt library named Serial to connect both these pieces of code, and essentially all I'm trying to do is set the color of the LED strips in my Arduino code to red or green depending on whether I receive a '1' or '2' from Processing. I keep getting this error below: 'i' was not declared in this scope.
I'm not sure where I'm meant to define 'i' in the code below for this error to stop.
