AxonII Newbie Question... Again

[Aberg098]

Hello all,

I think I'm having a human to computer interface issue here, but I'm going through the steps on the software getting started page. I am at the point where I need to compile the photovore example code and get the following errors:

From what I can gather, the compiler is looking for files, so I must of screwed up a directory or something. I have started the whole process over more than once...

Thanks for your patience

I'm in a hurry, and never used the axon, but for what i see you didn't properly install library "rprintf.h" and you forgot to declare loads of things

[Admin]

Yea, it appears its looking for WebbotLib but you told it to look in the wrong place (or you didn't install it yet).

[Webbot]

Trust you have set up AVRStudio correctly - ie telling it to add your WebbotLib directory to the include path rather than copying files out of WebbotLib and into your own project.

[Aberg098]

Yep, I did extract the WebbotLib to the default directory.

I gather that I need to follow step 5 in the getting started to tell AVR where to find Webbotlib, which I have. I have followed the steps and told AVR to find the WebbotLib in the given directory (C:\My_Robots\WebbotLib), from the Project\Configuration Options menu.

Under the include directories tab, the File Search Path should be set to where WebbotLib is extracted correct? Then I also need to include the Libraries, which are also there as per the example. Do I need to include the Hardware.h and rprintf.h files here as well?

Just follow the instructions step by step exactly as you see. If it doesn't work, that means you missed a step, or did a step improperly

[Aberg098]

Okay okay I found it.

Yes I did follow the steps wrong, but I know WHERE my mistake was:

in Step 6, at the end where is says "Add hardware.h from the photovore example folder." under the add existing header files button (RHS, under AVR GCC, like the picture shows). I had saved the example folder to my desktop. The fix was to copy hardware.h to my new project's folder rather than try to include it from the photovore example folder.

While earlier the instructions stated to simply copy the code from the example's .c file ("Copy/paste all code in Photovore.c into the .c file with the same name as your project"), they did not specify to copy this file to my new project directory. Sorry to nitpick, I must of just understood it wrong.

Thanks to All who bothered!

Can you clarify: I had thought that you were using the Photovore example from the WebbotLib PDF manual  but since that doesn't have a 'hardware.h' file then I suspect you were actually using an example from the SoR website http://www.societyofrobots.com/axon2/axon2_setup1.shtml.

I only ask as I am responsible for the former; whereas admin is responsible for the latter - just in case we need to clarify any documentation.

Glad you've succeeded anyway.

[Aberg098]

I was following the SoR Website setup page you have indicated. I'm not sure whether or not clarifying the documentation is warranted, but in my opinion it was a bit ambiguous. I do however freely confess to being a complete newb!

Newbs are always welcome and your input is useful - sometimes its 'all to easy' for the more experienced among us to make assumptions.

So keep going - and feel free to ask as many questions as required.
