Compile problem with FIELD

Question

Compile problem with FIELD

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 5 comments

Hello Rui, wrote an email yesterday but found the forum now, sorry for that:

I found your Arduino-Menue Lib in youtube. Its really a cool thing which saves a lot of time in coding embedded application. I would like to use it in my Balancing Robot project. It took me no affords to get the example code with the i2c lcd running in my arduino 1.0.6 ide on windows. But if i add a FIELD menue entry the compiler throws out an error:

I2C_menu:34: error: variable 'menuField<const char [5]> _menuField0' has initializer but incomplete type

the modified Code is here

/********************

MENU(mainMenu,"Main",
FIELD(para,"Para","Unit",0,1000,10,1,nothing),

OP("Setup",nothing)
);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Wire.begin();
lcd.begin(16,2);
lcd.print("Ok");
}

void loop()
{
//serial can use numbers or +/- and Enter=* Esc=/ to navigate (nav keys can be redefined)
mainMenu.poll(menu_lcd,Serial);
}

Maybe you can be so kind and point me to the right way cause my knowledge in #-directive is very weak (yes i am a spoiled java-guy in real life;-))

greetings from austria and thanks

#include "menuFields.h"
//is required to work with fields

Answer 2 · 2015-05-26T15:26:01.000Z

Hello,

thank you very much for your answer! But unfortunatly i am still stuck with this:

included now this files:

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
#include <menuFields.h>
#include <menu.h>//menu macros and objects
#include <menuLCDs.h>//F. Malpartida LCD's

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE); // Set the LCD I2C address
menuLCD menu_lcd(lcd,16,2);//menu output device
int para;
void nothing() {}

MENU(mainMenu,"Main",
FIELD(para,"Para","Unit",0,100,10,1,nothing),
OP("Frequency",nothing),
OP("Dutty",nothing),
OP("Setup",nothing)
);

I get now some different Errors while compiling:

This report would have more information with "Show verbose output during compilation" enabled in File > Preferences. Arduino: 1.0.6 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino Uno" In file included from I2C_menu.ino:20:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Robert\Eigene Dateien\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoMenu-master/menu.h: In member function 'void menuToggle::activate(menuOut&, Stream&, bool)':
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Robert\Eigene Dateien\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoMenu-master/menu.h:238: error: object missing in reference to 'menu::sel'
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Robert\Eigene Dateien\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoMenu-master/menuFields.h:166: error: from this location

Are there still some includes or libs missing?

best regards and many thanks!

Hi!

And you are using an I2C LCD?
Also you must have the LCD drivers refered, in this case the
LiquidCrystal_I2C.
Its an independent display driver not included on the menu library...

i'm taking some guesses here...

you can send me your code if you wish

regards
Rui

Hello,

thanks for your help. I managed it to compile it with the 1.6.4 version
of the ide with the original liquidcrystal lib wich is contained there.
On 1.0.6 it did not compile. What is your compiler version an which libs
are you using?

regards

Robert

Last tested on 1.5.8
and yes, your specific lcd driver is crucial, you should have a working
lcd just to ensure your driver is ok

I've tested linking with several drivers, including the original LCD
example that comes with the IDE and some others like:
I2C Lcd's
A Graphics display with adafruit's GFX graphics, its important because
it covers quite some screens (nice work adafruit!)
And recently with a touch device on arduino mega
But of course some other devices/drivers might have to had some adjustments.
Virtually any display can be adapted because we assume litle from them.
Its always a balance between power and abrangence. The lower line is of
course the text console.
A text console can accept sequences of text to be drawn and eventually a
newline and we cheat a lot with some other command like cursor position
we consider also a clearscreen (console just prints an extra blank line,
its the best it can do)... but other screens should have an easy
implementation for clear

So if one builds a routine that translates that needed functions to a
particular device then that device can display the menu.
The core functionality is described in menu.h

class menuOut:public Print {...

existing derived classes are:

menuPrint.h //menu output to Print device (ex: Serial)
menuLCD.h //Use standard arduino LCD (LiquidCrystal library) as menu
output
menuLCDs.h // implement menu output for Francisco Malpartida arduino
LCD's (its a collection of drivers) from
http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/LCD3wires
menuGFX.h // Use graphics screens (adafruit library based) as menu output

well this list should be taken with a grain of salt because display
libraries can change versions and sometimes change behavior (avoided).
you should pick the appropriate include file for the driver in use. (or
extend the core functionality, for other screens)

I didnt bothered with 1.0.6 (should we?) because 1.5.8 was out already,
some 1.0.6 errors on mac have been reported with solution by IDE upgrade
