Energy meter pulse sensor (ambiguous) won't compile

Opus40

Hi All

Im trying to get the Energy meter pulse sensor sketch working but when i test the code i get the following message.
(exit status 1
call of overloaded 'set(volatile long unsigned int&)' is ambiguous)

any ideas would be great

thanks in advance

I'm running arduino 1.6.12
and using the development branch

 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol

 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

 * REVISION HISTORY
 * Version 1.0 - Henrik EKblad
 * Contribution by a-lurker and Anticimex,

 * Contribution by Ivo Pullens (ESP8266 support)
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 * The EthernetGateway sends data received from sensors to the WiFi link.
 * The gateway also accepts input on ethernet interface, which is then sent out to the radio network.
 *
 * VERA CONFIGURATION:
 * Enter "ip-number:port" in the ip-field of the Arduino GW device. This will temporarily override any serial configuration for the Vera plugin.
 * E.g. If you want to use the defualt values in this sketch enter: 192.168.178.66:5003
 *
 * LED purposes:
 * - To use the feature, uncomment any of the MY_DEFAULT_xx_LED_PINs in your sketch, only the LEDs that is defined is used.
 * - RX (green) - blink fast on radio message recieved. In inclusion mode will blink fast only on presentation recieved
 * - TX (yellow) - blink fast on radio message transmitted. In inclusion mode will blink slowly
 * - ERR (red) - fast blink on error during transmission error or recieve crc error
 *
 * See http://www.mysensors.org/build/esp8266_gateway for wiring instructions.

 * GND        GND
 *
 * Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
 * This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
 * The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
 * - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
 * - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
 * - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
 * - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
 *
  * Inclusion mode button:
 * - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')
 *
 * Hardware SHA204 signing is currently not supported!

 * Make sure to fill in your ssid and WiFi password below for ssid & pass.

TheoL · I'm running arduino 1.6.12 and using the development branch

@Opus40 I can't compile it for ESP because I don't have it installed. But when I change it to an RFF sensor it compiles without errors in Arduino 1.6.8 IDE.

Could you post the compile errors?

hi so this is what i get from the error messages

@Opus40 Might be a bug in the development branch. I use the 2.0 release.

What happens if you compile it for a normal arduino and not as a gateway? (Just comment all the gateway and esp stuff and uncomment NRF) That's what I did.

Thanks Hek that's done it, should have looked for threads on the water sensor as well. and thanks to you alsoTheoL
