C Definition in sketch to configure library



  • Hello,

    I'm trying to write own library.
    I would like to library was configurable from sketch by #define MY_USE_ADC_FILTER similar like configuration MySensors.
    But my library don't see definition from sketch in my .h and .cpp files.

    I don't know how it is done in MySensors library.
    Could someone just explain how to achieve similar behaviour?

    Thanks
    Robert

    @Robinek70 are the defines in the sketch before including the library? That should be sufficient. If they already are, could you share your code?



  • it is something like below.
    Definitions
    #define MY_USE_ADC_FILTER
    #define MY_ADC_PIN
    are not visible in .h and .cpp.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong 😞

    //test.ino
    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
    
    #define MY_USE_ADC_FILTER
    #define MY_ADC_PIN
    
    #include <RPlibs.h>
    #include <MySensors.h> 
    ...
    
    //RPlibs.h
    
    #ifndef MY_ADC_PIN
      #defie MY_ADC_PIN  A0
    #endif
    
    #define DT_FILTER  10
    int getAdc();
    
    //RPlibs.cpp
    #include <RPlibs.h>
    static int prevValue ;
    int getAdc() {
      int value = analogRead(MY_ADC_PIN);
      #ifdef MY_USE_ADC_FILTER
          prevValue = (prevValue *DT_FILTER  + value) / (DT_FILTER  + 1);
      #else
          prevValue = value;
      #endif
      return prevValue 
    }

    This works for me
    sketch.ino

    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
    
    #define MY_USE_ADC_FILTER
    #define MY_ADC_PIN
    
    #include "RPlibs.h"
    

    RPlibs.h:

    #ifdef MY_USE_ADC_FILTER
    #error "Define ADC set!"
    #else
    #error "Define ADC not set!"
    #endif
    

    With the define, the build process outputs

    In file included from C:\Users\Micke\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_modified_sketch_472392\sketch_sep20a.ino:6:0:
    
    RPlibs.h:2: error: #error "Define ADC set!"
    
     #error "Define ADC set!"
    

    and without the define it outputs

    In file included from C:\Users\Micke\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_modified_sketch_303778\sketch_sep20a.ino:6:0:
    
    RPlibs.h:4: error: #error "Define ADC not set!"
    
     #error "Define ADC not set!"
    


  • it's very strange for me.
    I checked under two environments:
    Arduino 1.6.7 and Visual Studio 2012 with plugin Visual Micro.
    And my result of tests:
    directly under Arduino, .h file see definition from sketch, but .cpp file don't 😞
    under VS definition isn't visible in .h and .cpp files.



  • full test files

    File in path Arduino/Test/

    //test.ino
    #define MY_RADIO_NRF24
    
    #define MY_USE_ADC_FILTER 
    
    #include <RPlib.h>
    
    void setup() {
    }
    
    void loop() {
      Serial.println(getAdc());
    }
    

    Files in path Arduino/libraries/RPlib/

    //RPlib.h
    #ifndef MY_ADC_PIN
      #define MY_ADC_PIN  A0
    #endif
    
    #define DT_FILTER  10
    
    int getAdc();
    
    //RPlib.cpp
    #include <RPlib.h>
    #include <Arduino.h>
    static int prevValue;
    
    int getAdc() {
      int value = analogRead(MY_ADC_PIN);
      #ifdef MY_USE_ADC_FILTER
    		#error  FILTER
          prevValue = (prevValue *DT_FILTER  + value) / (DT_FILTER  + 1);
      #else
    	#error  NO FILTER
          prevValue = value;
      #endif
      return prevValue;
    }
    

    I always got
    #error NO FILTER
