Assistance with proper libraries

Hello,

I was under the assumption that I would reuse libraries and code for Arduino based boards. I guess that isn’t the case as I am seeing many compile errors in relation to ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect). Maybe I have the incorrect library loaded? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

135:4: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token
ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect) // counter overflow/timeout
^
exit status 1
expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token

with this being the code

What library are you even using?

As a disclaimer, we can try to advise with code issues but can not fully support them. I can try to help you as best as I can.

ok…so after some trial and error i realized that the issue wasn’t a library issue. i changed my board from sparkfun redboard artimis nano to arduino nano and the code compiles without issue. below is the code i am attempting to compile. this is all new to me so i guess i had the assumption the code was compatible. any guidance would be helpful. if i’m not able to figure this out, i may just end up purchasing an arduino nano and call it a day.

/* Connect to Android via serial Bluetooth and demonstrate the use of interrupt

A serial Bluetooth module is used to create a connection with an Android app (created with MIT AppInventor).
Every n seconds (where n is a parameter set through the app) a status report is sent to the app.
A simple command structure enables the app to send parameters and values to Arduino and the other way round.

The circuit:
* HC-06 Bluetooth Wireless Serial Port Module (slave) connected as follows:
    VCC <--> 3.3V
    GND <--> GND
    TXD <--> Pin 0 (Rx)
    RXD <--> Pin 1 (Tx)

The Bluetooth module may interfere with PC to Arduino communication: disconnect VCC when programming the board

The Artemis Nano and the Arduino Nano are very different boards, the prior uses an Apollo3 microprocessor and the latter an Atmel microprocessor.

All of the interrupt code in that sketch, from the interrupt handler for the conditions “TIMER0_COMPA_vect()” (timer0 compare A) and “TIMER1_CAPT_vect()” and “TIMER1_OVF_vect()” as well as the direct register setting commands such as “TCCR0A”, “TCCR0B”, “OCR0A”, “TIMSK”, etc. are specific to the Atmel family and are not defined for the Artemis Nano, as that has completely different timer registers.

I think that it is probably easiest to switch to an Atmel based board for this project, as you’d have to check the Apollo3 datasheet (about 1000 pages!) to get the register information for timers and then check the Arduino Core for the appropriate definitions there.

thank you for that explanation this is really disappointing as all video’s I’ve watched lead me to believe the code base is compatible. all of this is new to me and this was my first foray into the arduino market. your explanation makes perfect sense. thanks you.

Most sketches are probably compatible - but using ISRs is a bit more complex.

You only missed it by …that… much :slight_smile:
