Need help Exit Status 1 when compiling code vers 1.8.15

The following code is known to work so I think, from what I've read that I'm missing a library. Any pointers on how to troubleshoot the code would be appreciated. I noticed some libraries show up in red text and some in black, is that a clue?

#include <BluetoothSerial.h>

/*
  Modified control software to allow use of an ESP32 board in conjusction with Matthew Zwarts Android app to control a BB-R2 style droid
  
  Matt Zwarts app communicates by Bluetooth sending data for LeftJoy_X,LeftJoy_Y, Right_Joy_X, RightJoy_Y as comma seperated items
  Joystick values are between 0 and 200.  100,100 is Joystick centered.
  Start of the data packet is a double '<'
  example datastream:  00,100<<100,100,100,100<<150,130,100,100<<150,130,....

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

Please do this:

  1. When you encounter an error, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar in the Arduino IDE: Copy error messages (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button.
  2. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  3. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar. This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code block
  4. Press Ctrl+V. This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
  5. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  6. Click the Reply button to post the output.

Not really. Library developers can define keywords for their libraries. The Arduino IDE colors the names matching the keywords of any installed library whenever they occur in the sketch.

Some library authors define all the keywords.

Some library authors forget to keep their keywords updated, so not all relevant names are colored.

Some library authors don't follow the documentation for how to correctly format their keywords, so the IDE doesn't recognize them.

Some library authors don't bother to define any keywords.

In addition, the IDE's keyword highlighting system is fairly crude. You might find that some keywords are highlighted even though you aren't using that library at the time. This becomes more common the more libraries you have installed.

So it's best to not assign too much importance to the color of things in the Arduino IDE. The keywords highlighting is purely cosmetic. It has no affect on the compiler.

@darren2021, your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.

I tried to reply doing as instructed but the text is too long. I then tried to attach a .pdf which included all the text but don't have the priveledge.

In the IDE, file -> preferences; disable verbose output during compilation (I suspect it's currently enabled); that should reduce the size.

Only idiots post PDFs of errors; you're not an idiot so you don't post a PDF :smiley: Just attach as text file (if you have to and if the forum allows you). The problem with PDFs is the line wrapping that can make it difficult to read.

I was able to get it to compile by installing:
GitHub - plerup/espsoftwareserial: Implementation of the Arduino software serial for ESP8266 (as libraries/SoftwareSerial)
GitHub - RoboticsBrno/ServoESP32: Generate RC servo signal on a selected pins with ESP32 device and Arduino framework. (as libraries/Servo)

DO NOT install arduino-esp32/libraries/BluetoothSerial at master · espressif/arduino-esp32 · GitHub

There were two places where NULL was used in place of "" (an empty string) and one place where NULL was used in place of '\0' (a null character).
