Quick Question

LukeRhoades · October 9, 2016, 7:25pm

hello this is my first project. it is the spaceship interface project from the book the arduino came with. i managed to debug a lot of things but now when i verify it gives me this and i have no idea what it is trying to tell me.

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

UKHeliBob · October 9, 2016, 7:28pm

Do simple programs such as the Blink example work ?
Which Arduino board do you have ?

J-M-L · October 9, 2016, 7:28pm

show your code. which version of the IDE?

LukeRhoades · October 9, 2016, 7:42pm

i have the arduino starter kit. the codes that came with the arduino come up with the same thing. here is my project. The IDE is 1.6.11

int switchState = 0;

void setup() {
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(2, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
int swichState = digitalRead(2);
// comment
if (switchState == LOW) {
// the butten is not pressed
digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // yellow led
digitalWrite(4, LOW); // red led
digitalWrite(5, LOW); // blue led
}
else { // the button is pressed
digitalWrite(3, LOW); // yellow led
digitalWrite(4, LOW); // red led
digitalWrite(5, HIGH); // blue led
delay(250); // wait for a quarter second
// toggle the leds
digitalWrite(4, HIGH); // yellow led
digitalWrite(5, LOW); // red led
delay(250); // wait for a quarter second
}
} // go back to the begining of the loop

Do a Google for 'arduino lto'. One hit that might help is Error compiling "plugin needed to handle lto object" - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum

User pert is very knowledgeable in this area.

J-M-L · October 9, 2016, 7:53pm

please add code tags around your code so that it looks like this:

int switchState = 0;

void setup() {
  pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  int swichState = digitalRead(2);
  // comment
  if (switchState == LOW) {
    // the butten is not pressed
    digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // yellow led
    digitalWrite(4, LOW); // red led
    digitalWrite(5, LOW); // blue led
  }
  else { // the button is pressed
    digitalWrite(3, LOW); // yellow led
    digitalWrite(4, LOW); // red led
    digitalWrite(5, HIGH); // blue led
    delay(250); // wait for a quarter second
    // toggle the leds
    digitalWrite(4, HIGH); // yellow led
    digitalWrite(5, LOW); // red led
    delay(250); // wait for a quarter second
  }
} // go back to the begining of the loop

(which compiles perfectly fine)

for that your select your text and click on the little </> button in the toolbar or alternatively you type

  // comment
  if (switchState

swichState is not the same as switchState.
Spelling and attention to detail are really important.

LukeRhoades · October 9, 2016, 9:07pm

Thanks for the spelling catch, but unfortunately I am still getting the error message. It even happens with Blink, which I grab straight from the examples. My error code for Blink is:

what version of Mac OS do you have?
have you installed a version of Java?

PaulMurrayCbr · October 10, 2016, 1:26am

hello this is my first project. it is the spaceship interface project from the book the arduino came with.

A book, you say? And did this book have a DVD with a copy of the arduino IDE?

install/update xcode for the mac using the app store. This bundle includes gcc and other things that the ide assumes are there
install/update oracle java. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
get the latest IDE https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
