Starter Kit, Project 13

Projects Programming

I am working with the Arduino starter kit on project 13, the capacitor sensor and keep coming up with these error messages that I am not sure how to get rid of... any help is appreciated!
I was pretty sure that I had followed the instructions carefully!

sketch_sep15a:3: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
sketch_sep15a:5: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'void'

It is supremely difficult to troubleshoot code that we can't see. Post code using code tags (# button above).

Sorry!!

#include <CapacitiveSensor.h>
CapacitiveSensor capSensor = CapacitiveSensor(4,2);
int threshold = 1000;
const int ledPin = 12
void setup (){
Serial.begin (9600);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop (){
long sensorValue = capSensor.capacitiveSensor(30);
Serial.println(sensorValue);
if (sensorValue>threshold){
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
}
else {
digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
}
delay(10);
}

using the library from Arduino Playground - HomePage

Thank you!

const int ledPin = 12

Missing semi-colon after 12. That may be all that is wrong.
Not the use of code tags.

Add a semi colon ;
const int ledPin = 12;

I cannot believe I didn't see that!!!! Thanks!!!
