IDE - Dependent Failure to Compile

Projects Programming
6

OK, that worked. Thankfully, clicking the File --> New --> Arduino Sketch sequence provides a “Default cpp File” option. So, it still does the work of pulling in the correct board-dependent stuff. I could never configure all the toolchain and compiler options stuff myself.

Anyway, for this simple-minded example I didn’t even need .h file.

.cpp file:

#include "Arduino.h"
enum animal {dog, cat, pig, horse, cow};
animal returnAnimal(animal);

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(115200);
 delay(2000);
 Serial.println(returnAnimal(dog));
}

void loop() {
}

animal returnAnimal(animal x) {
 return x;
}

So, I owe you $1. Send me your Venmo ID ;D
