Arduino 1.5+

[jgillick]

I'm using Arduino 1.5.8 and I get the following error when I try to compile:

~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/HardwareSerial_RS485/HardwareSerial_USB.cpp:21:22: 
fatal error: Platform.h: No such file or directory #include "Platform.h"

However, the same code seems to compile without an issue on Arduino 1.0.

oops sorry for the delay, my answer got lost apparently

Thanks for trying this code and reporting the issue. I developed the code with IDE 1.0.5. The file Platform.h file must have been (re)moved since I guess.

However, this file is only included by HardwareSerial_USB.cpp, a nonfunctional development stub for ATmega32u4 based Arduini (Leonardo, micro). If you are using a UNO, you can remove the file I think.

I will pick up development in a month or so and look at the Platform.h and IDE 1.6 compatibility and ATmega32u4 based versions.

Cheers Michael

Hi Michael. Thanks for the reply. Compiling with Arduino 1.0 is working well for now. Thanks for writing this great library! I'll be honest, some of the lower level stuff is a bit over my head, but I've been going through it anyways to understand how it works. I'd love to contribute where I can and potentially help create a simplified demo (I'm working on one right now to prototype basic communication).

I am having a few small issues and questions around addressing collision detection/testing and the RE/DE pins being reset after sending, but I'll keep those until you have more time.

Lastly, and most importantly, how can I contribute to your beer fund?

Cheers, Jeremy

Hello, you may be interested that I have released a new version of the RS485 support for Arduino, This version, besides being more stable, has also a few new features.

To be compliant with the Arduino Librarian, the repository has been moved to a new place: https://github.com/MichaelJonker/HardwareSerialRS485

Please let me know if you find any problems.

Cheers
