I cannot figure this out I'm very new to this and it's driving me mad plz help me understand whats wrong with my code.
just the transmitter part.

#include <HCWireless.h>

#define TX_PIN 6
HCWireless HCWireless;
int buttonred = 8;
int buttonyellow = 9;
int buttongreen = 10;


void setup() {
HCWireless.txInit(TX_PIN);
pinMode(buttonred, INPUT);
pinMode(buttonyellow, INPUT);
pinMode(buttongreen, INPUT);
}

byte count = 1;

void loop() {
  char msgred[7] = {'h'};
  char msgyellow[7] = {'j'};
  char msggreen[7] = {'l'}; 

if(digitalRead(buttongreen) == HIGH){
  HCWireless.send((uint8_t*)msggreen);  
}
if(digitalRead(buttonyellow) == HIGH){
  HCWireless.send((uint8_t*)msgyellow);
}
if(digitalRead(buttonred) == HIGH){
  HCWireless.send((uint8_t*)msgred);
}
}

These are my errors.
