Trouble compiling controlino about instrumentino

[yoelk]

Hi Daniel,
Are you the same Daniel that recently wrote me (from uni-weimar)>

Anyway, eclipse is definitely not a must.

Controlino is a single file, so you can easily open it with the normal
Arduino editor, and use it to compile and upload Controlino to your arduino
device.
It would be good if you look a bit in the Controlino code, at least in its
beginning.
There is a list of definitions you should set before compiling, such as
which Arduino board you're using, which libraries you want to use etc.
If you want to use the PID library, for example, you need to have it
"installed" in the appropriate place, so the "#include" statement will find
it.

If you're still not successful doing it this way, please let me know, with
the error you get from the normal Arduino editor/loader.

Good luck,
Joel

Update 2: See my comment below which fixed my issue.

Update 1: After looking around I believe "SoftwareSerial" is an arduino supported library. I'll see if I can get it to work...

I'm having a similar issue. I'm using "sketch" to compile + load the controlino.cpp file onto my arduino uno and it's unable to load the libraries (SoftwareSerial is the one I'm using).

sketch uses serveral things to load libraries, but for .cpp it appears I need both the SoftwareSerial.cpp file and the SoftwareSerial.h file, otherwise the #include "SoftwareSerial.h" line fails inside sketch.

If you're not using sketch or want to test/see what I'm doing, here's the sketch library loading documentation: http://arduino.cc/en/guide/libraries

Can you include the .h/.cpp files for the controlino libraries or list the source location/software you're using for them?

I found out why I was having issues. Possibly old software, probably how I loaded the file into sketch.

1. I was running a fairly old version of what they now call "Arduino Editor", which was called "sketch" at one time. I upgraded to Arduino Editor 1.62 (the latest)
2. To do that upgrade, I had to go from java 7.x (open source) to 8 (oracle). Lots of issues on the Arduino Editor forums about startup issues and using java 1.8 is the "fix".
3. As suggested above, but I really didn't pick it out when I first read it, is how you need to load controlino.cpp into the Arduino Editor. What didn't work for me was to include it via the "add file" option. It will load, but will not compile (it cannot find SoftwareSerial.h). What did work was to make a copy of controlino.cpp and call this copy controlino.ino, put this in your sketchbook directory (for ease of the next step), then load it directly via file -> sketchbook-> controlino

After that it compiles and I loaded it into the Arduino.

Hi Snarfums,
So, do I understand your issue is resolved?
Sorry for taking so long, I've been away last week.

Yes: Issue resolved! I figured I'd post all the details in case anyone else ran into similar issues/questions.
