Arduino Error

Marc_Ringuette · January 14, 2024, 11:57pm

Good afternoon,

I am new to Proffie. I am trying to program a v3.9 and during the Arduino verification process it returned with this error message -

"Compilation error" '$BLADES$' was not declared in this scope" I am setting up a cross-guard with lit PCB’s.

In using Fett263 config program the end coding is as follows:

BladeConfig blades[] = {
{ 0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),

SubBladeWithStride(0, 15, 2, WS281XBladePtr<16, blade2Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >()),

SubBladeWithStride(1, 15, 2, NULL),

WS281XBladePtr<144, blade3Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin1> >(),
SubBladeWithStride(0, 15, 2, WS281XBladePtr<16, blade4Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin1> >()),
SubBladeWithStride(1, 15, 2, NULL),
WS281XBladePtr<3, blade6Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin4> >()

, CONFIGARRAY(presets) },

{ NO_BLADE, $BLADES$ CONFIGARRAY(no_blade_presets), "nb_save" }

Here is my question: Should I remove $BLADES$ , if not how can I correct? The Proffie manual does not show $BLADES$ in the section for “no blade” configuration.

There are “no_blade” presets within the body of the file.

Thank you for your help.

There are two sections, at the top and bottom config what you showed was the bottom.

Please paste the config and encircle it ` ( no spaces in between the characters)

jedi_j_stream · January 15, 2024, 12:53am

Echoing Afrojedi’s comment–you need to post the full config.

Your first blade array has 7 elements–your num blades must match.
Instead of BLADES in the NO_BLADE preset, you need the same number of dummy blades as your other presets.

This might also help;
ProffieOS Documentation: Blade ID (hubbe.net)

profezzorn · January 15, 2024, 1:22am

I think where it says $BLADES$ something (a script, you?) is meant to insert the actual blade definitions, like you have in the previous blades entry.

Seems like a bug in the @Fett263 config generator.

Marc_Ringuette · January 15, 2024, 1:50am

Posted below (minus all the blade presets) Thank you for the help

Marc_Ringuette · January 15, 2024, 11:16pm

do you think I should delete BLADES script ? Any thoughts on a fix?

profezzorn · January 16, 2024, 1:15am

$BLADES$ needs to be replaced with actual blade definitions.
Just removing it will not make it any better.

Fett263 · January 16, 2024, 7:22pm

The config tool does not and cannot generate the BladeConfig {} section, this must be pasted by the user into the tool from the user’s original config. The tool uses the BladeConfig as-is, it’s not able to check for errors as there’s simply too many variables involved.

profezzorn · January 16, 2024, 7:56pm

Uh, wonder where $BLADES$ came from originally then?

Fett263 · January 16, 2024, 8:02pm

Not sure, only the installer could answer.

Marc_Ringuette · January 16, 2024, 10:47pm

The config file was generated on the Proffieboard v3 ("Fredrickhubbe.net) “Configurator Generator” page. Below is directly from that page: (minus the blades to save room for this post)

Thank you for the response.

I am new to proffie and doing a self-install. I followed the directions within the ProffieBoard site, cutting and pasted the “ending config” into your blade generator which was easy to follow (thank you). The error doesn’t seem to be on your config blade tool, but based from the Proffie site. I may need to “re-write” the “no_blade” to read (from the ProffieOS documentation)

      { NO_BLADE,
        WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
        CONFIGARRAY(no_blade), "nbsave" }
    };

Thank you “profezzorn” for your insight. As the reference to BLADES is not good.

Again thank you helping someone new to proffie programming/installing.

profezzorn · January 17, 2024, 5:37am

Ah, so I guess this is a bug in my configuration generator…
Should be fixed now.

Marc_Ringuette · January 18, 2024, 12:27am

I hate to be a pain but there is no change.

Code used from config generator:

#ifdef CONFIG_TOP
#include “proffieboard_v3_config.h”

#define NUM_BUTTONS 2
#define VOLUME 1000
const unsigned int maxLedsPerStrip = 144;
#define CLASH_THRESHOLD_G 1.0
#define ENABLE_AUDIO
#define ENABLE_MOTION
#define ENABLE_WS2811
#define ENABLE_SD
#define SHARED_POWER_PINS
#define BLADE_DETECT_PIN blade5Pin
#define ENABLE_SSD1306
#endif

BladeConfig blades = {
{ 0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),

, CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
{ NO_BLADE, BLADES CONFIGARRAY(no_blade_presets), “nb_save” }
,
};
#endif

ryryog25 · January 18, 2024, 12:46am

You need a Preset array called no_blade for that. I’ll assume you only have a preset array for presets, or, as it seems, you have a Presets array called no_blade_presets, not no_blade

Marc_Ringuette · January 18, 2024, 1:58am

update: So I think I have moved past one error by writing (no_blade_preset) for the config:
BladeConfig blades = {
{ 0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
SubBladeWithStride(0, 15, 2, WS281XBladePtr<16, blade2Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >()),
SubBladeWithStride(1, 15, 2, NULL),
WS281XBladePtr<144, blade3Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS >(),
SubBladeWithStride(0, 15, 2, WS281XBladePtr<16, blade4Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS >()),
SubBladeWithStride(1, 15, 2, NULL),
WS281XBladePtr<3, blade6Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS >()
, CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
{ NO_BLADE,
WS281XBladePtr<10, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
CONFIGARRAY(no_blade_preset), “nbsave” }
,
};

#endif

BUT I now have a new error from Arduino: Help is greatly appreciated!!

Your NO_BLADE blade array doesn’t have enough blades. You #defined 7 blades, so there needs to be 7 blades in the NO_BLADE array too.

Marc_Ringuette · January 18, 2024, 12:08pm

7 blades were created and included.
