what am i doing wrong?
class Sensor
{
// Class Member Variables
// These are initialized at startup
int read; // sensor value
int value; // calculated value
int pin_;
// Constructor - creates sensor
// and initializes the member variables and state
public:
Sensor(int pin)
{
pin_ = pin;
}
int Update()
{
int read = analogRead(pin_);
int value = read * (500 / 1023.0); // calculated value
return 1; // test return
}
};
Sensor hi(A0);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{ int hi = 0;
hi = hi.Update();
// Serial.println(hi);
}
I get Error:
request for member 'Update' in 'hi', which is of non-class type 'int'
I did declare it...
Um... You declared another hi locally. And you declared it is an int.
int hi = 0;
The local hi "hides" the outer hi. So you are trying to call Update() on an object of type int, which makes no sense. Which is exactly what the compiler is telling you.
Don't give your variables identical/conflicting names.
In this case you can save the day by using a scope resolution operator, i.e. by calling it as
hi = ::hi.Update();
(and use ::hi every time you want to refer to the "hidden" outer hi).
This will work. But it still doesn't make it a good idea.
LMAO
Late night haha
Thank you!!
