Blaster help needed

So i am trying to use the config posted by megtooth sith to make a proffie blaster.

I am struggling to get the config to verify for a proffieboard v2
Config below:

#ifdef CONFIG_TOP

#define BLASTER_JAM_PERCENTAGE 3

#endif

#ifdef CONFIG_PROP
#include “…/props/blaster.h”

#ifdef CONFIG_PRESETS

I think maybe im on the wrong track because the error is talking bout teensyduino. I dont know?

Error compiling for board Proffieboard V2.

Also I am using the latest OS. I dont know if that makesa difference.

You have some weird quotes in your ProffieOS.ino file.
You probably used wordpad or some other “smart” app to edit ProffieOS.ino which “helpfully” changed your doublequotes into fancy unicode quotes.

Please use a text editor, like notepad or notepad++ to edit ProffieOS.ino.

3

It only changed to this when i pasted it onto crucible.
I use wordpad to edit all my configs. Used it today to upload a couple of saber configs and it always works fine.

just in case, I changed to Notepad ++
config below:

It won’t look like a question mark in your file.
It will look like doublequotes, but angled in two different directions.

These worked fine:

But these did not:

So there is definitely some difference between them.

6

Actually, when I look at it closer, I think these doublequotes are also wrong.
yours: ”
mine: "

7

I think you are right

8

Apparently Notepad++ also does these “smartquotes” in some cases nowadays.
Maybe someone else has a better recommendation for a windows text editor?

from what i can tell when it was pasted to the crucible it changed them somehow to the angle speach marks. I have now chaged them all to the correct non angled " but it is giving me errors to do with my led template. Im lost now. My skills stretch to copying and pasting bit in the right place.

So, when you paste code into the crucible, please add three backticks (`) before the code and three backticks after, that makes the code show up better, like this:

CodeGoesHere()

Also, in this case, the code got messed up because the template lines are missing some parts. The crucible is interpreting the < sometexthere > as html and removing it. Using the triple-backticks will prevent that.

12

Ill try and paste the config herr with back ticks, if that helps. I just saw this thread, apologies.

EditPlus is a great editor for all the various languages. There are quite a few, but my fav is EditPlus.

I love Atom as it makes managing the various files easier using tabs and sessions.

Sorry so late, I couldn’t find it. Found the file tonight.

This is missing stuff.
Should be something more like template<int milliohms = 420>

Also, your PowerPINS are missing in the BladeConfig array.
Should have a pin assigned like PowerPINS<bladePowerPin4> >(),

With these things corrected, and all of the quotation marks made proper, it compiles fine.
