Hello All,
I am working on a program to log IR sensor data to an SD card with a timestamp using a DS3231 RTC, I have finally gotten the code to verify but gives an error stating "Error compiling for board Arduino Mega or Mega2560" as well as:
"In file included from C:\Users\jacob\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\ReadWritei\ReadWritei.ino:7:0:
C:\Users\jacob\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\libraries\DS3231/DS3231.h:27:7: error: redefinition of 'class DateTime'
class DateTime {
^~~~~~~~
In file included from C:\Users\jacob\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\ReadWritei\ReadWritei.ino:4:0:
C:\Users\jacob\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\libraries\RTClib/RTClib.h:81:7: note: previous definition of 'class DateTime'
class DateTime {
^~~~~~~~
"
I have no clue what is causing this error, and there is not much documentation on any of the libraries I am using, if any of you smart guys and gals can point me in the "Write" direction (couldn't help myself) it would be much obliged, I will post the entirety of my code at the bottom.
Thank you in advanced.
