PPM Decoder Problem

Projects Programming
1

Hello,

I want to decode PPM Signals with an Arduino Duemilanove with a mega328. I have a "c" code, I want to usw in this program, but I only get a lot of Errors during compiling.

Servo_Controller.cpp.o: In function `loop':
C:\Users\Philipp\AppData\Local\Temp\build4028775172873483244.tmp/Servo_Controller.cpp:13: undefined reference to `ppm_Get(int)'

Servo_Controller.cpp.o: In function `setup':
C:\Users\Philipp\AppData\Local\Temp\build4028775172873483244.tmp/Servo_Controller.cpp:8: undefined reference to `ppm_Init()'

The Arduino Code:

#include <PPM.h>

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(115200); 
  ppm_Init();
}

void loop(){
  delay(250);
  Serial.print(ppm_Get(0),DEC);
  Serial.print(ppm_Get(1),DEC);
  Serial.print(ppm_Get(2),DEC);
  Serial.print(ppm_Get(3),DEC);
  Serial.print(ppm_Get(4),DEC);
  Serial.print(ppm_Get(5),DEC);
  Serial.println("--");
}

And the Lib, placed in the libraries folder in the folder "PPM"

	chan=-1;
}

	OCR1A=time+T_OUT;
	if (time>timeOld)

	else
	{

	timeOld=ICR1;
	if (chan>=0 && chan<PPM_CHANNELS)
	{
		ppm[chan]=time;
	}
	chan++;
}

unsigned char ppm_Get(int n) {
	unsigned int t=ppm[n];

	// conversion T_MIN...T_MAX -> 0...255
	if (t<T_MIN) t=T_MIN;
	t-=T_MIN;
	t=t/((T_MAX-T_MIN)/255.0);
	if (t>255.0) t=255.0;

	 return ((unsigned char)t);
}

I don't know, whats my fault. Can somebody please help me?

I copied your header file to PPM.h, your source code to PPM.cpp, and your sketch to Arduino 1.0.

When I compile, I get:

C:\Users<user>\Documents\Arduino\libraries\RPM\PPM.cpp: In function 'void ppm_Init()':
C:\Users<user>\Documents\Arduino\libraries\RPM\PPM.cpp:18: error: 'DDR_ICP' was not declared in this scope
C:\Users<user>\Documents\Arduino\libraries\RPM\PPM.cpp:18: error: 'PORT_ICP' was not declared in this scope

when compiling for a Mega.

Check the spelling and capitalization of your file names.

Hi,

first I just used a "c" not "cpp". Now I changed it to "cpp", and I added to PPM.h

#define DDR_ICP DDRB
#define PORT_ICP 0

Now I still get this error, I have already tried different names for the variable, but it's the same, every time.

PPM\PPM.cpp.o: In function `ppm_Init()':
C:\Program Files (x86)\arduino-1.0\libraries\PPM/PPM.cpp:25: multiple definition of `ppm_channel'
Servo_Controller.cpp.o:(.bss.ppm_channel+0x0): first defined here

Greetings
Philipp
