Plug and Make Kit - Matrix

I working through the tutorial for the Eco Watch on the Plug an Make kit. When trying to add the scrolling text, a number of the matrix.##### are not working. The text after the matrix. is red and the following errors occur:

/run/arduino/sketches/Eco_Watch_dec31a/Eco_Watch_dec31a.ino:53:1: error: 'matrix' does not name a type
matrix.beginDraw();
^~~~~~
/run/arduino/sketches/Eco_Watch_dec31a/Eco_Watch_dec31a.ino:54:1: error: 'matrix' does not name a type
matrix.stroke(0xFFFFFFFF);
^~~~~~
/run/arduino/sketches/Eco_Watch_dec31a/Eco_Watch_dec31a.ino:55:1: error: 'matrix' does not name a type
matrix.textScrollSpeed(50);

That kits looks like it has an Arduino Uno board.

If you look at those library links, they have "renesas_uno" which I think is the Uno Rev 4 board which uses a completely different chip.

Are you sure you have selected the correct board when attempting to build?

The Plug and Make Kit includes 7 Modulino® nodes, a Modulino® Base, and an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi

This is what came with the kit. I'm following the tutorial included. I even loaded the program they included. For this step, they gave the code to add. I tried typing it in as a way to learn, then copied/pasted the code provided with the same results.

Got it. Updated firmware... :crazy_face:
