Embed code in forum using CodeBender
-
Codebender doesn't seem to be working as it was planned. I have tried a few of the sketches, but when I try to compile them I get around 62 errors. Looks to me like libraries have been edited and then never updated. It is a pity, because this whole site made it look so simple to make your own sensors and stuff, and when Codebender started and I started looking to give this ago, it really did look really easy to play around with these things and give it a go. Now though it just isn't as easy as it used to be.
I'll keep trying though :-)

Have you cloned the libraries to your local repository when testing a sketch?
This is what I do....
I go to one of the pages which gives instructions on how to make a sensor. Here is one: http://mysensors.org/build/ethernet_gateway
For this example, I then scroll to the sketch example and I chose to clone and edit.
A new tab opens and this message comes up:
Heads up! This sketch uses the following personal libraries:
DigitalIO
MySensorsIt asks me what I want to do: Clone sketch and libraries, clone just the sketch or leave. I choose clone sketch and libraries.
From here I chose the board and ask it to verify, and it fails, telling me that there are 62 errors.
When I hover the mouse over #include <stdarg.h> it says "File not detected"
When I first found this site a long time ago, and Codebender was just impliemented, it was always working. My guess is that libraries aren't being kept updated?? I am now just building the sketches on my computer without using Codebender, but when I first started playing with the fact that Codebender was so easy and user-friendly helped heaps.

Try creating a new personal account and then give it another go.
Just quickly, I have tried these sketches and none will compile:
- Motion sensor
- Relay Actuator
- Dallas Temperature Sensor
- Light Sensor
Out of 4 sketches, none of them worked. My guess is that if I had the time and tested them all, that I would have the same problem.
Each time I try to verify the sketch, I get 62 errors.

I just deleted all personal libraries and re-cloned them from mysensors. Still works fine for me when verifying an example.
Does the cloned libraries pop up under "Personal Libraries"?

Yep it does. Maybe it is my browser, because I still can't get it to work...
Anyways, I now do it all on my computer, and if no one else if having issues with Codebender, then let's not worry about it, coz it must be an issue on my end... I do wish though that I knew what was wrong...

It would be a bummer if others are having issues too, because being able to use Codebender certainly got me excited to work on these, because it was just so easy. But if I am the only one with the issue, then that's fine, because at the moment I am trying to learn to do this on my computer anyways.
