I’m at the very beginning f the usage of FastLed and the problems allready startet: i Asked firstly for support in the prjc forum (mainly because i find the Google+ very messy) and well describet my problem : https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/41741-Beginners-questions
shortly der is just the question why does my compiler keep telling me:
…/Table.cpp:41:25: error: no matching function for call to ‘CFastLED::addLeds(CRGB [1312], int)’
when compiled in the sloeber ide… but not when i compile it in the arduine ide… seems strange to me… it is like i’m passing the wrong arguments… but it gives me this as a method signature…
EDIT: i forgott to mention. i’m asking here now for help because i was probably at the wrong place firstly
What version of Arduino IDE are you using? I know there was a bug before that required the function to be defined above the first call to the function on a certain version of the IDE.
@Justin_Eastman thanks for your response. I’m very thankfull for any help i get in this topic. The example Code Compiles in the Arduino IDE… (not every example does but this one) but it doesn’t compile in sloeber (previous eclipse arduino plugin http://eclipse.baeyens.it/).
Thanks for the version. Not sure that is your problem…
I don’t think there is a function in FastLED to do what you are trying to do.
I think you need to define the CRGB variable first… something like
CRGB leds[1312];
Then you need to define the LEDs to an LED controller object (default is LEDS). Put in your data pin number for “yourdatapin”
LEDS.addLeds<WS2811, youdatapin>(leds, 1312);
thanks for your response. The code i postet is a example Code from the Fastled Libary for the OCTOWS Shield. (this has not a single pin it uses 8 pins.) As i said if i open the example in the Arduino IDE it compiles. If i open it in the Sloeber IDE it doesn’t.
So there must be a difference in the project setup between the two IDE.
Sorry I don’t know anything about Sloeber IDE. Maybe one of the guys that wrote the code would know… Is there a reason you don’t want to use the Arduino IDE? Is there some sort of benefit to the Sloeber IDE? I suspect that there is a difference in the compilers.
There are big benefits in my opinion like code completion, refactoring support, the option of installing plugins like a console grep. Easy working with multiple files. Outline find usage of a methode… Just to mention some of the benefits…
Sloeber is a real developmet environment while the arduino ide is a texteditor with automatic build an upload…
I can really recomend to give it a try.
There is a video on the sloeber homepage i lonked which explains that question very well.
So i liked to do some oop (but i’m not used to c++) and ecery other example compiles quite easy (if it compiles also in the arduino ide) but there seems to be a difference somewhere…
@Severin_N i have used eclipse for java, C and even Perl, so i understand your desire to use Sloeber. I havent tried that plugin, but i would guess your build/include path is wrong for your project.
@Stuart_Taylor Hello thanks for your hint. Probably you are right but i can’t find my setup error. It just has the problem with this one line. The import is fine and everything. So i would guess the include path is fine, i don’t have any experience in c++ project setups so probably you are right there. But still no clue for what i have to look.
@Stuart_Taylor that would be really nice. So actually its not a plugin anymore as we where used before. so you have to download the hole IDE. IF you whish i can upload you my ide including the workspace as a ZIP and post you the link.
@Stuart_Taylor Yes i do… Yeah you have to know that i had to do little tweaks to get it running for teensy. So adding extra hardware and stuff like this my setup is so thatyou could putitjust on the D drive and you should be able to use mi state
i uploaded you my installation you should be able to unzip it on a E:\drive and then start sloeber in e:\ide\sloeber2 it should work right out of the box.
EDIT: don’t mess with the arduino installation aside…its included by a path in sloebers arduino settings and has a installation of the teensyduino in it
