Heltec CubeCell AB02s 'SX126x' does not name a type error

[jc1195]

I keep having the error 'SX126x' does not name a type. The board uses a ASR6502mcu. I've tried the examples you have provided and keep getting the same error as well. I set the pins according to the pinout and schematic https://resource.heltec.cn/download/CubeCell/HTCC-AB02S/HTCC-AB02S_PinoutDiagram.pdf. https://resource.heltec.cn/download/CubeCell/HTCC-AB02S/HTCC-AB02S_SchematicDiagram_V1.1.pdf int8_t nssPin = 28, resetPin = 35, busyPin = 34, irqPin = 33, txenPin = 18, rxenPin = 17; I was hoping that you could help out. I'm still new to this. I'm just trying to make it send a message with GPS coordinates using lora.

It is most likely because the library is not installed correctly. Try to check if your Arduino library folder has LoRaRF folder and there is SX126x.h and SX126x.cpp inside /path-to-arduino-library/LoRaRF-Arduino/src folder.

If you sure there is those files. Try to uninstall then reinstall library again via Arduino library manager.

I just tried doing that and I still have the issue of it saying "SX126x does not name a type". I'm also using the visual micro extension in visual studio. However, I tried using the same code in Arduino IDE and throws the same error there as well.

I have install CubeCell arduino board and try to compile SX126x_LoRa_receiver and SX126x_LoRa_transmitter examples. I know why "SX126x does not name a type" error happen. It is because conflict between CubeCell arduino core and LoRaRF library. CubeCell arduino core has sx126x.h and sx126x.cpp files and LoRaRF has SX126x.h and SX126x.cpp.

After I delete sx126x.h and sx126.cpp files in C:\Users\<your-windows-username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\CubeCell\hardware\CubeCell\1.4.0\cores\asr650x\device the error no longer happen. This action may break CubeCell LoRa library. So you must choose between using CubeCell LoRa library or LoRaRF library.

Oh thank you for that! I didn't even think about that. I just changed the name in one of the headers and now it compiles. Now I just need to figure out the correct pins 😂

Good for you, finally compiling success! Changing headers name is great hack I think, better than deleting files. 👍
