Warning message when verifying the code with Tinkerkit Braccio Robot (

Other Hardware Robotics
1

Hello,

I'm new in Arduino use. I bought the Tinkerkit braccio Robot and I started to use Arduino with it. When I loaded some program examples created by other users as "simpleMovements", "testBraccio90", etc, it used to work properly. However, then I used the Arduino UNO shield for other purposes (buttons and led control programs) and now, when I want to run the robot again, I have a warning message when veryfing the code:

"
C:\Users...\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Braccio\src\Braccio.cpp:30:12: warning: 'step_shoulder' initialized and declared 'extern'
extern int step_shoulder = 45;
"
This warning did not appear before. I tried to delete the arduino libraries from my computer and reinstall them again, but it still doesn't work. I have reset the shields too. However, the message appears again and the robot does not work at all. Have I damaged the Arduino Shield? Do I have to replace it? Maybe this is a very simple problem, but I am not able to solve it.

Thank you very much for your help.

I think you managed to fry your arduino or at least a pin or so. Start with some simple sketches sketches such as the blink. If you cannot get beyond that try a different Arduino (you did get a spare). If that works you fried the Arduino, if not you may have fried your USB port. Make a backup of all your arduino stuff, then delete it and install new. If that works smile, if not you probably have some serious problems with the USB port. If you can you may be able to install an independent copy as another user, We can on Linux but I do not know windows.
