Trying to understand the error codes in Arduino IDE

[rvendrame]

How did you declare the bpm object? something like this:

Adafruit_BMP085 bmp;

And did you try to remove the altitude from the equation?

float pressure = bmp.readSealevelPressure()  * 0.01;

@rvendrame I have something in the lines where the #include statements are found
Adafruit_BMP085 bmp = Adafruit_BMP085();
what ever that does
by adding the first line nothing and the same result taking altitude out of the second line

This is the copy of the error code from trying to compile

Looking into the source code at github, it looks it expects a float and returns a 'int32_t':

int32_t Adafruit_BMP085::readSealevelPressure(float altitude_meters) {
  float pressure = readPressure();
  return (int32_t)(pressure / pow(1.0-altitude_meters/44330, 5.255));  
} 

so try something like that (NOT TESTED):

  float altitude = 12345.0  //  <<< Replace with correct altitude

  int32_t pressure; 


  void loop() {  
  .... 


      pressure = readSealevelPressure( altitude );  

      Serial.println( pressure );

@rvendrame I am glad you found something and I know you are suggesting something but this old goat is lost, am I to put this second box of code into the sketch somewhere, and it looks as though it would go in setup before the loop?

still v slow with code...... int32_t is given a float in meters by me, finds float pressure then does a calculation to send somewhere else?

Not to worried about how code works just would like the error to go away but all this will help with the knowledge base.

@rvendrame Looking again I see second part of the code would be put into the loop segment .?

[rvendrame]

The first block is just a declaration of the code from Adafruit_BPM085, you don't need it (it is already there in some include).

Both float and int32_t lines can go just before the loop() line.

The final two lines should be placed inside the loop() routine.

@rvendrame you gave me an idea

I went to github and found the Adafruit-BMP085-library and downloaded the zip file >put the zipped file into my sketch file overwriting the existing .

There may have been a revision or there was corruption but it does now seem to compile.

I do THANK YOU for your help in this problem and ultimate resolution!

My troubleshooting skills got a small bit better but I will try the fix on the original to see if that solves it also.

[rvendrame]

Thx, I am glad you made it work.

[5546dug]

@rvendrame code is now inside the promini and the quest goes on!
Thx doug

I guess you've used the v2 library although the v1 is the one commonly provided today

@hek The BMP085 has been discontinued by BOSCH and replaced with the BMP180 which is smaller and less expensive but is identical in terms of wiring and software!
