Laser Tripwire

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

I am creating a laser tripwire for a school project, but I am having trouble uploading files to the arduino nano. I got the idea from this website. [
There are two separate files: lasertripwire.ino and pitches.h. I have successfully uploaded the pitches file individually but once I try to do both files there is an error. Arduino: 1.6.8 (Windows Vista), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Temp\untitled886503113.tmp\sketch_apr23b\lasertripwire.ino: In function 'void setup()':

lasertripwire:21: error: redefinition of 'void setup()'

void setup() {

lasertripwire:1: error: 'void setup()' previously defined here

//Laser tripwire sketch - @vmfoo

C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Temp\untitled886503113.tmp\sketch_apr23b\lasertripwire.ino: In function 'void loop()':

lasertripwire:6: error: 'void loop()' previously defined here

#include "pitches.h" //include the frequency definitions of the pitches

exit status 1
redefinition of 'void setup()'

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I am new to this and need some help.](http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-build-a-laser-tripwire-with-arduino--cms-21485)

Post your code - it looks like you've got two loops and two setups.
Use code tags.

Please go back to your post and sort out the tags.

    // to calculate the note duration, take one second 
    // divided by the note type.
    // e.g. quarter note = 1000 / 4, eighth note = 1000/8, etc.
    // I bumped 1000 up to 1500 to slow the tempo. raise it more to slow it down
    int noteDuration = 1500/noteDurations[thisNote];
    tone(PIEZO_PIN, melody[thisNote],noteDuration);

    // to distinguish the notes, set a minimum time between them.
    // the note's duration + 30% seems to work well:
    int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
    delay(pauseBetweenNotes);
    // stop the tone playing:
    noTone(PIEZO_PIN);
  }

Have you by any chance got 2 tabs in the IDE, both with code in them ?

#5

Yes one tab is the lasertripwire file and the other is the pitches file.

#6

Is there a setup() function in both ?
