AVR Studio 4: error

[Hawaii00000]

I'm having some trouble with AVR Studio 4. I'm just working on getting my brand new Axon going but AVR Studio 4 quits when I create a new project an click "Finish." Is this because I moved the WinAVR files?

[dellagd]

have you tried reinstalling AVR Studio 4?

It cant hurt

[Hawaii00000]

I got it now. You have to let the WinAVR install in the default place. Now to compile...

[Hawaii00000]

Its not compiling for me... here's the settings I have. Anyone know what went wrong?

[dellagd]

Error messages?

Did you follow the 'getting started' section in Webbot lib EXACTLY?

[Hawaii00000]

Yeah I'm following the Axon "getting started" the best I can but getting plenty of errors.

[dellagd]

What were the error messages?

Can you please post your code?

[Webbot]

Also are you using Project Designer or just writing the code and configuring AVR Studio by hand?

Definitely need to see error messages and as 'dellagd' says a copy of your code would help track down your mistakes

[Hawaii00000]

It works with Webbot's sample "hello world," but not with the photovore code. Maybe I'm just copying the wrong code.

[Webbot]

I recently fixed a problem in the photovore code - which came about as one of the included files hand changed name.
Check your code against the latest in the online docs at http://webbot.org.uk/WebbotLibDocs/object.jsp?id=27787

[dellagd]

using Admin's photovore code will not work because it is not adapted to webbot lib.
programming with webbot lib uses a different format.

(You must use Webbot's photovore code)

[Webbot]

My previous post makes the assumption that you are using the Photovore code that comes in the WebbotLib manual

[Hawaii00000]

I'm using the code in the Axon "getting started" tutorial which is all set up with WebbotLib so it should be the right code.

[Webbot]

I'm still not sure if you mean the one on the Society Of Robots website written by Admin - or the one in the WebbotLib documentation (ie the PDF or on my website at http://webbot.org.uk/WebbotLibDocs/object.jsp?id=27787)

If its Admins code then I cant help you - and vice versa. So please clarify.

Also - unless you say exactly what error messages you are getting then its hard for anyone to help you.

[Hawaii00000]

Admin converted his Axon "getting started" tutorial to webbotlib. Here's the link: http://www.societyofrobots.com/axon2/axon2_setup1.shtml
I can try and check the code today.

[Webbot]

Phew - after all these posts we finally get to know where your source code comes from.

Now all we need to know is what error you are getting - which I think we've asked for 3 times already so far. This is request number 4.

[Hawaii00000]

Sorry webbot
Here the code (different form the coding your earlier link):

AXON AND AXON II CODE FOR WEBBOTLIB

intended use for Axon and Axon II

instructions:
Read comments for explanation of all code.

appInitHardware() is for initiating the Axon.

appControl() is where your code goes. It is similar to control.c
for the original Axon code.

See hardware.h for defining your external hardware.
See sys/axon2.h in WebbotLib to change which pins are input and output.

and here's the errors:

[Webbot]

Your errors are caused by the first one ie that it cannot find 'hardware.h'

I think you've failed to add hardware.h as described in Step 6 of http://www.societyofrobots.com/axon2/axon2_setup1.shtml

[dellagd]

if you have it, make sure it is in the same folder as the rest of your code (the .c file, excluding the webbot-lib stuff).

[Hawaii00000]

I did this-

Now, right click 'Header Files' and left click 'Add Existing Source File(s)...'. Add hardware.h from the photovore example folder.

I think that's what you mean.

if you have it, make sure it is in the same folder as the rest of your code (the .c file, excluding the webbot-lib stuff).

So have to save the whole thing in the same folder as the hardware.h? 

[dellagd]

not webbot lib, but all the unique code (not from webbot lib) must be contained in the same folder with the AVRstudio file as well.

[Hawaii00000]

Problem solved! Thanks for the help Webbot and dellagd. I appreciate you time.

[dellagd]

did what I said solve it? just for others it would be nice to say what fixed it.

[Hawaii00000]

Yes, putting the hardware.h in the same folder as the rest of the files solved it.
