Example not compiling with Platformio

[brennansang]

Hey there, Thanks so much for your work on this, I'm incredibly excited to work with your library. Unfortunately, I'm running into an issue when compiling with Platformio while using a Teensy 3.6.

To try and isolate the issue, I started a new project using just the Send Midi Notes example — but I end up getting the same error.

The error that I can't seem to get past is:

src/main.cpp:13:7: error: 'MIDIAddress' does not name a type

Everything compiles fine using Teensyduino, but compiling fails using Atom/Platformio. Any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks again for your time,
Brennan

Here's the example code I'm using.

#include <Control_Surface.h>

// Instantiate the MIDI over USB interface
USBMIDI_Interface midi;

// Push button connected between pin 2 and ground.
// Note message is sent when pressed.
Button pushbutton = {2};

using namespace MIDI_Notes;

// MIDI address of the note to send
const MIDIAddress noteAddress = {note(C, 4), CHANNEL_1};
// The velocity of the note events
const uint8_t velocity = 0x7F;

void setup() {
  pushbutton.begin(); // enables internal pull-up
  midi.begin();       // initialize the MIDI interface
}

void loop() {
  midi.update(); // read and handle or discard MIDI input

  pushbutton.update();                              // read the button state
  if (pushbutton.getState() == Button::Falling)     // if the button is pressed
    midi.sendNoteOn(noteAddress, velocity);         // send a note on event
  else if (pushbutton.getState() == Button::Rising) // if the button is released
    midi.sendNoteOff(noteAddress, velocity);        // send a note off event
}

Here's my platformio.ini

platform = teensy
board = teensy36
framework = arduino
lib_deps = Control Surface
build_flags = -D USB_MIDI_SERIAL
lib_ignore = MIDIUSB```

Here's the output from when I try to compile the example code.

PlatformIO uses the 1.1.1 version, which doesn't have MIDIAddress yet. You could force PlatformIO to use the master version, or you can use the version-specific documentation and examples here: https://tttapa.github.io/Control-Surface-doc/index.html

The examples should be included with the library as well.

[brennansang]

Well, that would explain it. Is there a downside to forcing PlatformIO to use the master version?

Thanks for your time.

[tttapa]

Not really, master should work at all times, but the API might not be 100% stable.
I simply don't have much time at the moment to prepare an "official" release.

How do you force PIO to use the latest? i used the below and 1.1.1 is the only one that installs. platformio lib -g install https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface/archive/master.zip

[tttapa]

I don't use PIO. Last time I needed it, I simply searched for PIO's Control-Surface folder and manually replaced it by the master version.

When PlatformIO adds Control-Surface it adds an entry like tttapa/Control Surface@^1.2.0-4 to platformio.ini.

What worked for me was changing that declaration to pull directly from the master branch in the git repo. You probably don't need to add the master tag, but I like that it makes it explicit. My platformio.ini for a current project looks a bit like this:

[env:d1]
platform = espressif8266
board = d1
framework = arduino
lib_deps = 
    #tttapa/Control Surface@^1.2.0-4
    https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface.git#master
    lathoub/AppleMIDI@^3.1.2
lib_ignore = MIDIUSB
