Multiple definitions error message in OSEPP example code

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi all,

I’ve bought an OSEPP Robotics Kit and have been trying to compile the example code that came with it to make it run. I’ve searched for a solution and have a general understanding of the “multiple definitions error” but can’t seem to understand where this particular error is coming from. Attached are the project files and I’ve copied the error code below. I don’t get any errors until the linking phase of the compile. I’m sure its a fairly easy fix, and I apologize but I’m just trying to learn. Thank you all for your time.

Arduino: 1.8.12 (Linux), Board: “Arduino Uno”

It seems to me that motor and irfollower both have the same issues, so if I get motor figured out, irfollower should be easy to figure out. Here’s the code for each so you don’t need to download…
