I NEED HELP

Projects Programming
1

I'm new to this and I need help with my project. I recently got this UNO R3 Super Starter Kit and I thought I'd make a Remote Controlled car out of this. I decided I'd use the IR sensor and the IR Remote to do this. I'll program it so that when I press the "Up" button on the remote, it would cause my Elegoo UNO R3 board to start the DC Motor to turn the wheel of the car. Here is my code but when I upload it, it says error status 1 error compiling for Arduino Uno:

#include <IRremote.h>
#include <IRremoteInt.h>

//www.elegoo.com
//2016.12.9

#include "IRremote.h"

int receiver = 11; // Signal Pin of IR receiver to Arduino Digital Pin 11

/*-----( Declare objects )-----*/
IRrecv irrecv(receiver);     // create instance of 'irrecv'
decode_results results;      // create instance of 'decode_results'

/*-----( Function )-----*/
void translateIR() // takes action based on IR code received

// describing Remote IR codes 

{

  switch(results.value)

  {

  case 0xFF906F: pinMode (3,OUTPUT);
                 pinMode (4,OUTPUT);
                 pinMode (5,OUTPUT);    break;
 

  }// End Case



}

void loop()   /*----( LOOP: RUNS CONSTANTLY )----*/
{

}

What am I doing wrong?

Did you correctly install the IRremote library?

OK, I give up.

Where is the setup() function in your code ?

4

I upload it, it says error status 1 error compiling for Arduino Uno

I bet it says a whole lot more than just that.

You have no setup() and you never call translateIR()

6

What do you mean setup()?

What do you mean setup()?

Normal Arduino sketches must have both setup() and loop() functions. Yours appears to have no setup() function

Click new in the arduino IDE and you get this

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}
