Arduino IDE doesn't verify #2

Closed bmwfarmer closed 7 years ago

bmwfarmer commented 7 years ago

Hello, Neither of the samples doesn't verify in Arduino IDE 1.6.12. SMS:4: error: 'A6' does not name a type A6 A6l(D8, D9); ^ /SMS.ino: In function 'void setup()': SMS:16: error: 'A6l' was not declared in this scope A6l.powerCycle(D0); ^ SMS:16: error: 'D0' was not declared in this scope A6l.powerCycle(D0); ^ /SMS.ino: In function 'void loop()': SMS:21: error: 'A6l' was not declared in this scope callInfo cinfo = A6l.checkCallStatus(); ^ exit status 1 'A6' does not name a type

Great project so.

Hello!
Yes, the problem is that A6 is an analog pin in Arduino. Someone submitted fixes for Arduino, I am going to rename the library to A6lib and also add the other fixes soon.

Actually, if someone wanted to submit a PR that renames A6 to A6lib, it would get this done faster.

Confirmed working with IDE 1.6.9, when removed 1024 from SoftwareSerial and capital D from pin definitions. Doesn't comply in IDE 1.6.13.

To save some power in battery powered applications you could stop checking callinfo and monitor modems serial connection. My A6 module sends over serial RING RING, when incoming call is detected.

If (SerialString == "RING"){ callInfo cinfo = A6l.checkCallStatus(); if (cinfo.direction == DIR_INCOMING && cinfo.number == "123456") //do something SerialString = " "; }

I think there was a problem with that approach, but I'll see if I can get it to work, thanks!
