Hi newcomer,
the Arduino-Forum community can be of great help.
If the community is able to support you in a way that helps solving your problems depends on
detailed information that you should provide.
trying to be quick by posting a too short posting is just
slowing down
finding the solution. Because all that happends is that you are asked for the detailed information and have to provide it anyway. Only difference the answer and the solution comes later
The most important thing is to post your complete sketch as a code-section
which is described here
In case of a compiler-error a second thing becomes crucial:
enabling the most detailed compiler-log the arduino-IDE can create.
In Arduino IDE 2.X click File - preferences
This will show you the preferences window
adjust these options to the shown values
Then compile your code new
If the compiler aborts with an error-message
click the green
Copy error-messages button
then change to browser with arduino-Forum
click the
button
This will insert three lines
So the error-message is inside a code-section
.

.
If you are using IDE 1.8.19
To enable this you have to go to
file - preferences
Which will show this window
Inside this window you have to activate
and then compile your code new.
The compiler will stop with the same error-message as before but has written much more detail-information about the compiling-process
You can copy the hundred of lines of this compiler-log into the clipboard by a single mouse-click
Then you change back to the forum and create a
code-section
Above the textwriting-field of each posting there are some button
There is one button to create a code-section that looks like this
If you click on this button your browser inserts these lines
simply press Ctrl-V to insert the copied compiler-log into this code-section
The code-section has two advantages:
- it has a limited height. => no eeeeeendleeeeeessss scrolling through
- the content of a code-section can be copied into the clip-board by a single mouse-click.
This makes it very easy to copy the entire log to a local texteditor and to search for particular parts inide the logfile.
So it depends on how
carefully you provide detailed information
whether you can be helped faster or slower.
