expected primary-expression before ',' token

[oTijWi]

here is my code -

#define LED void setup() { pinMode( LED , OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite( LED , HIGH); // turn the LED on by making the LED pin HIGH delay(100000); // wait for a second digitalWrite( LED , LOW); // turn the LED off by making the pin LOW delay(100000); // wait for a second }

[rei-vilo]

Take the full Blink example with the complete line #define LED RED_LED, including RED_LED. You line is missing RED_LED.

Please use the 43oh forum for project related questions.

#define LED RED_LED

void setup() {                
  pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);     
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
  delay(1000);              
  digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
  delay(1000);              
}

Please... help as soon as possible.

[rei-vilo]

Isn't the desktop write-protected in Windows?

[robertinant]

I have not seen this problem before. Can you please try the following?

• Close Energia
• Open Energia
• Go to file->Preferences and check "compilation" next to "Show verbose output during:"
• Click the verify button
• If the problem still exists, copy past all text from the black window into this issue.

[oTijWi]

again getting a problem, but this time, reason is changed.

[rei-vilo]

This seems to be a second compilation, not a fresh one.

Please close Energia, relaunch it, create a new project with Blink example, compile.

[oTijWi]

hey, rei-vilo. I didn't get what you were saying. will you be more specific?

[oTijWi]

same problem again :--

[rei-vilo]

There seems to be an issue with folder permissions.

• Have you installed Energia with administrator privilege? — There is no need to, but the path to Energia should not contain spaces.
• Which OS and release are you using?

[oTijWi]

I'm using windows 10. about the installation of energia, I didn't do it. actually, I've got a zip file for it which was having energia preinstalled.

[rei-vilo]

Perform a check of your disk and repair files permissions.

[oTijWi]

can you guide me, how to do that?

[rei-vilo]

[oTijWi]

Maybe it is because I haven't installed Energia manually, But, I couldn't get to download the set up for it. it is available in ZIP form to download.

[rei-vilo]

So this is an issue with Windows, not Energia per se. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2623670/-access-denied-or-other-errors-when-you-access-or-work-with-files-and-folders-in-windows

Ok, now try to launch Energia with Administrator privilege.

again the same problem ..... :(

[oTijWi]

this time, it isn't saying about the permission. but the reason is changed. now the error is because of the existence of a file. Don't know what to do now.

[rei-vilo]

Delete the file C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\build99cc971bd16d54daa628c37bf2ac45d8.tmp\core\core.a or the folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\build99cc971bd16d54daa628c37bf2ac45d8.tmp.

[rei-vilo]

Maybe you'd be luckier if you post your issue on the 43oh forum. Other users may have faced with this issue and found solutions before. I can't manage to replicate it on my Windows 10-based laptop.

[oTijWi]

I've been trying to get this issue on 43oh, but there is a question I need to answer to get registered. What is the name of TI's flagship development kit for makers?

when I'm filling the name of the msp430 launchpad it is again asking me for a correct answer. so, couldn't post it on that forum unless I register on that.

[rei-vilo]

I guess it is launchpad.

[rei-vilo]

And what about

Delete the file C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\build99cc971bd16d54daa628c37bf2ac45d8.tmp\core\core.a or the folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\build99cc971bd16d54daa628c37bf2ac45d8.tmp.
