Problem while compling a WS2811 LED with ESP32

[hatim97]

Hello guys, haven't worked with arduino ide for more than 5 years, i got this problem while trying to compile my code :

Can one of you please help me find a solution?

Thank you guys

I'm terribly sorry to inform you that I am unable to piece together the code that is causing this error by looking at the error code.

It's, typically, good practice to post your well formatted code in code tags blah, blah, blah.

Just a shot in the dark..... I see Onedrive in your path. Are your files on the cloud? If so perhaps you might want to move them to local and give it a try.

Else I would separate all the parts of your code. For instance is there an example for the WS2811 in the library you are using?

i hope this can help you figuring out what my problem is

thanks guys

here is the code :

Great. Now post it properly using Code Tags. The instructions for doing so are in this article that you should have read before posting your question:

Hello, Welcome to the Arduino Forum. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. Please read and follow the instructions below. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case.

i hope this can help you figuring out what my problem is

Please enclose the code in code tags.

[Idahowalker]

The code is not complete. Please post all your code. Or come to understand why your code will not work under the Arduino IDE without setup() and loop() functions, as per the error message.

Thanks john for your response. i just posted the whole code if you can try and figure out how i can solve my problem.

[gfvalvo]

So, as has already been asked (at least twice), where is the setup() function? The loop() function?

[Idahowalker]

Where is the setup() and loop() functions?

[quote="hatim97, post:1, topic:904005"] C:\Users\hatim\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\1.0.6\cores\esp32/main.cpp:18: undefined reference to `setup()'
[/quote]
You see in the 2 lines of error code the complaint of "WHERE IS setup()" and where is loop()?

I do not use loop() but i still have to include it under the Arduino IDE.

WHERE IS THE setup() and loop() functions?

[JohnRob]

My suggestion was to try an example file that most likely came with the library. Use the example to verify the hardware and library are working.

From that point you can start to add you custom code, one function at at time.

From what others have noticed, your program structure in not complete. Assuming you copied the code from elsewhere, you should go back to that resource and recopy the code.

[hatim97]

Thank you john, yes i actually copied the code from a youtube guy : here's the link to his code that seems to be working for others but not me : Natural-Nerd/Nanohex.h at 041ed6bed7bafc23a8fbaa6193bbec879d059620 · hansjny/Natural-Nerd · GitHub
