Undefined reference to `Arduino_H7_Video::beginDraw()

I just got my Arduino Display Shield and am trying to work through some posted examples. I installed the noted libraries and am now having errors in trying to compile the following. It can't find "beginDraw: The sample sketch is:

/*
  Arduino GIGA Display - ArduinoGraphics Demo
  gigadisplay-arduinographics.ino
  Demonstrates ArduinoGraphics library functions
  Uses Arduino_H7_Video and ArduinoGraphics libraries
  
  DroneBot Workshop 2023

*/
 
// Include required libraries
#include "Arduino_H7_Video.h"
#include "ArduinoGraphics.h"
 
// Create a display object
Arduino_H7_Video Display(800, 480, GigaDisplayShield);
 
void setup() {
 
  // Initialize display
  Display.begin();
 
  // Draw a red rectangle that covers the entire display
  Display.beginDraw();
  Display.clear();
  Display.noStroke();
  Display.fill(255, 0, 0);
  Display.rect(0, 0, Display.width(), Display.height());
 
  // Draw a 200px blue circle at coordinates 200,200
  Display.fill(0, 0, 255);
  Display.circle(200, 200, 200);
 
  // Draw a 300px green circle at coordinates 500,300
  Display.fill(0, 255, 0);
  Display.circle(500, 300, 300);
 
  // Finish drawing
  Display.endDraw();
}
 
void loop() {
}

and the verbose compile errors are:

Do not edit, post a new entry.
It has nothing to do with Libraries

I just copied your code and it compiles ok. Are you maybe using the Deprecated boards? Here is what it should look like. When using the drop down if you by mistake have the old boards it will have Deprecated but it can be hard to see.

BIG CLUE. As I suspected.

blh64 · June 23, 2025, 5:49pm

It compiled just fine for me. Did you install all the libraries - specifically, the lvgl library?

sonofcy · June 23, 2025, 5:52pm

It compiled so obviously all the libraries were installed probably a long time ago.

sonofcy · June 23, 2025, 5:57pm

@lapowels You said your compile failed on not being able to find beginDraw. That indicates either a library is missing, but the error message for that is file missing, or a wrong board, so that the board level libraries are missing and probably results in a different error like you got.
I just cleaned up my boards files 2 days ago, so I don't see the deprecated entries anymore. You likely have 2 GIGA boards in your drop-down. Type giga in the dropdown search, then screen grab that part and post it to prove I am right or wrong.

lapowels · June 24, 2025, 1:41pm

I went to the Boards Manager.

Then Removed it and re-installed it. My simple test program now compiles.

Question. I am working with two hardware modules:

AdaFruit HalloWing M0 Express
Arduino Giga R1 WiFi

Doesn't the Popdown:

Select the correct hardward/software drivers configuration when there are multiple hardware boards?

Thanks

sonofcy · June 24, 2025, 1:42pm

@lapowels We are not going to want to be helpful if you make mistakes like this

sonofcy · June 24, 2025, 1:45pm

NO, that is impossible. What you select there is the board connected to your computer.
Perhaps it's time to take a picture of your hand drawn wiring diagram so we know what the heck you are trying to do.

sonofcy · June 24, 2025, 1:46pm

For me at least if your next post doesn't bring clarity then the MUTE option is best for me.

blh64 · June 24, 2025, 2:08pm

Why do you keep replying to me? I am not the OP. My compilation was fine. the OP's compilation resulted in an error

sonofcy · June 24, 2025, 2:14pm

Sorry, I misread your post.
