Artemis Nano fails to compile MotorTest.ino

Development Boards Artemis
1

Hi,

having used the Artemis Nano in the past, now coming back to it after a year and nothing compiles anymore. I can upload Blink no problem but most of everything else is an issue and won’t compile, most importantly I want to run motors and just using the MotorTest.ino file already gives me this error below.

I updated all the boards and libraries and keep getting this error:

{…}Serial_Controlled_Motor_Driver\src\SCMD.cpp: In member function ‘uint8_t SCMD::begin()’:

{…}Serial_Controlled_Motor_Driver\src\SCMD.cpp:106:7: error: ‘class arduino::MbedSPI’ has no member named ‘setClockDivider’

SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV32);

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{…}Serial_Controlled_Motor_Driver\src\SCMD.cpp:106:23: error: ‘SPI_CLOCK_DIV32’ was not declared in this scope

SPI.setClockDivider(SPI_CLOCK_DIV32);

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{…}Serial_Controlled_Motor_Driver\src\SCMD.cpp:108:7: error: ‘class arduino::MbedSPI’ has no member named ‘setBitOrder’

SPI.setBitOrder(MSBFIRST);

^~~~~~~~~~~

{…}Serial_Controlled_Motor_Driver\src\SCMD.cpp:111:7: error: ‘class arduino::MbedSPI’ has no member named ‘setDataMode’

SPI.setDataMode(SPI_MODE0);

any help is appreaciated.

Hi Chris

This is a known issue for me. Things have changed a little with V2.x.

There are 2 solutions :

  1. Install the Sparkfun Apollo3 library version 1.2.3 (Arduino IDE, board manager, look for Sparkfun APollo3 board and select to install Version 1.2.3). It will still work with V1.2.3.

  2. OR keep using V2.x library and change SCMD.cpp to include these settings as part of the beginTransaction()

I would advise option 1 for now and then raise an issue on https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_Se … no_Library, so that Sparkfun can correct this for V2.x

just for the fun, I have changed the motor library. It can be used on V1.x and V2.x to set the correct SPI modes. I compiles without errors but not checked that it really works (as I do not have the hardware).

Give it try and let us know

Thank you very much Paul for your incredible help and the effort. I used your new library and same here it did compile without a problem, I will test the system and will report back. But foremost, thank you for your quick fix, this is so helpful!
