Problems while uploading a sketch into my Arduino IDE software. Desperation.

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Brief description of the issue:

I have recently bought my new board (Arduino Micro) and now I am trying to upload a sketch (program) that I just opened. This sketch is set to enable a connection between BitVoicer and Arduino.

My OS is Windows 7. The green light of my board is not fixed, it flashes all the time (the only moment it's fixed is when I reset the board or when I unplug and then plug the USB cable, and it just lasts a few seconds).

Arduino IDE version: 1.0.5-r2
BitVoicer version: 1.2

This is the error log that appears in the Arduino software console:

moverjugadasArena:9: error: 'BitVoicerSerial' does not name a type
moverjugadasArena.ino: In function 'void loop()':
moverjugadasArena:46: error: 'bvSerial' was not declared in this scope
moverjugadasArena:54: error: 'BV_BYTE' was not declared in this scope

And this is the whole tag thing of the sketch:

//Imports the BitVoicer library to the sketch

#include <BitVoicer11.h>

 

//Instantiates the BitVoicerSerial class 

BitVoicerSerial bvSerial = BitVoicerSerial();

byte dataType = 0;

Thank you very much in advance.

In File:Preferences, there is a path.
That path should have a /libraries folder.
The bitvoicer library should be there.
From the error noted, it doesn't appear to be.

Also, please use code tags (# button) when posting code.

It worked!

Thank you very much for your quick replies and for the the instructions on how to insert code tags when including codes in my posts.

Issue solved :wink:

Well, all seemed ok (now that the sketch is correctly uploaded to the Arduino software) but it turns out that now the green light of the board is off (there's only the blue light that is on under the main part of the board) and when I reset the board it just lights for a few seconds (the amount of time needed for Windows to recognise the new device plugged in, like a pen drive for example), but then it switches off again and an orange light (RX, that is next to a TX light that I suppose is orange as well because both are equal) appears for one second and then nothing happens. What is that RX orange light that lights for just 1 second?

I have tried to find the answer myself in the troubleshooting section, but I can't find it. Do you know what may be happening?

Thank you very much again.

I have an important update on this issue, the green light only turns itself on when I upload a different sketch from the two I've been trying for a few hours (https://sites.google.com/site/chesswithvoice/home/files). I have uploaded the Blink basic example into my Arduino micro and the green light just flashed as usual (before uploading the files on the link above).

Any ideas? Hope this may help you find out what's going on, I'm quite a newbie on this whole thing with Arduino.

Thanks again.
