Hello,
Im currently completing tutorials on interfacing vvvv with arduino (http://vvvv.org/documentation/arduino03) but am having a problem compiling the code given with the tutorial but i have little arduino or c experience, could anyone give me an ide of why when I compile the code I receive the following errors.
Thank you in advance
update: i believe the error lies in the syntax for writing numbers in c, am i correct in thinking that the values used in this sketch are ascii when arduino is expecting an octal number? if so can anyone link me to a page that may explain how this works?
