[NOOB] Sensors values to MQTT with Ethernet shield ... Compilation error :(

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi !!

I managed to send sensors values to my MQTT server using JSON & Serial connection.

I bought a W5100 shield and tried to adapt the code to send it using PubSubClient library and it fails …

I’m sure it’s a beginner’s mistake but can’t figure it out so far …

Help appreciated :slight_smile:

Exact error message is :

ccWmM6Bs.ltrans0.ltrans.o: In function `PubSubClient::PubSubClient(IPAddress, unsigned int, void ()(char, unsigned char*, unsigned int), Client&) [clone .constprop.42]’:

:(.text.startup+0x66): undefined reference to `callback(char*, unsigned char*, unsigned int)’

:(.text.startup+0x68): undefined reference to `callback(char*, unsigned char*, unsigned int)’

Here’s the code :

Thanks a lot !!

You initialized your pubsubclient with a function called callback, that I assume it's supposed to call when it has traffic for you. You even created a prototype for it, but the function itself isn't defined anywhere so the linker barfs, giving you that slightly cryptic error message.

Rather than the prototype you have, actually define a function called callback.

Thank you for you answer (and time).

As mentioned, I'm quite new to this and don't master it (yet?) :slight_smile:

Could you please be more descriptive (if possible ..) and/or correct the code ?

Thanks a lot !

isn't this defining the function ?

// Callback function header
void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length);

Actually, I used some code I havec used to suscribe to some MQTT topics to activate relays, which works well.

In the example I havec found, they were publishing some things too, which I didn't use (on another arduino). I thought that I could reuse that code to publish the sensors values .. and then came the error (other errors were fixed before this post .... I already tried lots of things :slight_smile: )

AlexandreRomain:

No. That's a prototype. If you drop the semicolon and add an open and close curly brace, it'll be a function definition, albeit for a function that does nothing. It'll compile then.

Look at setup, there's a body enclosed in braces below the void setup() line that contains code. You need the same thing for your callback. What you have now just says that there will be a function called callback defined somewhere, but you never actually define it.

#5

// Callback function header
void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length)
{}

It compiled !

It's not working (can't ping the arduino on LAN) but no more error.

I think I don't really need that 'callback' uhh .. thing as I just need to publish topics.

I will try to figure this out !

If you have any more advices, you're welcome :slight_smile:
