USB Host Shield - Problems with Code from Felis-Github

system · April 10, 2012, 6:46am

Hi,

I recently purchased a USB Host Shield from sparkfun electronics. I have soldered all the connections and now i was trying to check for the code. I tried to complie the code but it gives me a bunch of errors. I will provide the below mentioned examples

I downloaded the library from the below mentioned link

and then i placed it with the name of USBHostShield1 at the below mentioned location in my arduino folder

Desktop\arduino-1.0\libraries\UsbHostShield1

Then i opened up the arduino software and opened the below mentioned sketch

github.com

felis/USB_Host_Shield/blob/master/examples/descriptor_parser/descriptor_parser.pde

/* MAX3421E USB Host controller configuration descriptor parser */
#include <Spi.h>

When I compiled it, I got a bunch of errors mostly from the header files

Where you are going wrong is you are not reading the "read before posting" sticky post at the top of the page.

nickgammon · April 10, 2012, 6:52am

My eyes! I can't read yellow on gray, sorry.

Have you read the sticky!!
It tells you what to do about the missing WProgram.h.

nickgammon · April 10, 2012, 7:04am

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,97455.0.html

system · April 10, 2012, 7:05am

Agreed. Actually painful.

system · April 10, 2012, 7:17am

Well I have changed the Wprogram.h with Arduino and the spi with SPI.h and the corresponding errors were removed. But the rest of the errors still remain.

Anyone who has worked with this code or anybody who can help me why the errors are coming. Am i missing something ?

Grumpy_Mike · April 10, 2012, 8:01am

The errors are comming from the fact that you hav arduino release 1.0 and the libaries you are using were designed for version 0023.
Thera have been changes in 1.0 that are not reflected in the code.

system · April 10, 2012, 10:03am

i downloaded the version 0023 and the code 1 is working fine with it. I actually got the description of the USB device.

The second code is working fine with IDE 1.0.I was putting the two libraries together in one folder and it was causing an issue.

Thanks for the help everybody !
