Compiling issues #19

Closed apriest2 closed 7 years ago

apriest2 commented 7 years ago

I'm fairly new to programming, I have run through almost all of your demos to help me understand how to program LEDS, and I have gotten almost all of your other demos to work. But with this demo I am having compiling errors. Any ideas how I can fix this? Sorry I'm very new to programming, but it's something that I'd like to try and I like working with LEDS cause they are fun!

Most of the demos in here should work without a problem if you have installed FastLED correctly. Some of them (and you didn't mention which one you're having problems with), such as seirlight or fht_log require 3rd party libraries to be downloaded and installed. I would recommend avoiding those until you get more experience. In the meantime, here's some general FAQ stuff:

Sorry I didn't mention which demo I was working through. I was working through the button_demoReel100. I'm using WS2812 LEDS, and an arduino Pro Trinket Atmega328P micro controller. I downloaded and installed the needed libraries, including the https://github.com/JChristensen/Button library. I haven't tried the seirlight demos yet, because I read that they are more difficult. Every other demo I've tried has worked, and this isn't my first demo that uses a 3rd party library.

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly, I apologize that I don't have the experience to know what is going wrong.

In the case of button_demoReel100, I no longer use the JChristensen button library as I found it more complex to use and with less functionality than the jsbutton.h that's included with this sketch. I'm wondering if there's some form of overlap.

As for a Trinket, I haven't tried those out, and primarily just use Nano's and UNO's.
