Title: $50 uart- compiling error
Post by: ed1380 on December 31, 2008, 04:17:10 PM

i did the uart tutorial step by step, but it wont compile.
if i cut and past the original $50 robot code it works great. but if i add the uart stuff to it, it gives errors.
using no code between while and return, gives the same error as using minimal code. heres a screenshot. the error line is the  { after return

ive activated and deactivated every bit of the initialization stuff and it only gives more errors

heres what i have

The 'return 0;' on line 62 is withinside your main loop !!!

You need to move it down a line or two so its after your closing '}' for the while statement

idk. IIRC the AVRISPII are the ones with overvolt protect.
i was messing around with mosfet drivers on the breadboard, and kinda connected the 12v powerbus wires with the 5v bus. idk about the atmega. i got a couple more of those, but poor avrisp (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e398/RussianCommy/smilies/cry.gif)

The bracket '}' on line 63 is the closing bracket for the while loop. The return is definitely inside the while loop... unless I missed a bracket somewhere?


-EDIT-
Any chance you could attach the code you are using, ed?
