Hi,

Thanks for registering, the arduino forum is very slow at times and it's also difficult to manage the threads.

Some questions...

Are you using arduino 1.0.1?

Have you tried to re-start vs?

Is your vm options pointing to the same arduino exe that compiles correctly?

Does your main sketch file include "void setup() {}" and "void loop() {}" functions?

Based on your answers I'll either have more questions or a solution

Thanks

ps: Please email or post the source of the H-bridge.ino or pde

The entire sketch would be good by email. Please also include the .vcproj and other vs files if you can.

Thanks

Hello, I found the problem. For some reason vm is rejecting the - in the name.

I'll fix that in the next release but for now close vs.

Rename the H-bridge folder to H_bridge

Rename the H-bridge.ino to h_bridge.ino

Delete all the .vcx  files in the folder (which are just vs files)

Then re-open the sketch and it will be fine

Sup next bug :

EXAMPLE

Select All
...Arduino\libraries\USBHostShield\examples\PS3USB\PS3USB.ino

your VM project The same name PS3USB.ino
you get:
Compiling 'PS3USB' for 'Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK'

3 questions

1) Does it compile okay in the arduino ide from exactly the same location?

2) Please switch on Tools>Options>Compiler>Verbose and email the result from output window

Thanks

Ok thanks. 

Out of interest, what did you change the project name to?

One of the rules of vm is supposed to be that the project name is the same as the main .ino so it shouldn't work with a different name

in folder where u have your default Arduino libraries
Code
Select All
..\Documents\Arduino\libraries\

in each different libraries u have a folder with examples
Code
Select All
..\Documents\Arduino\libraries\...\examples\

and there u have a sketch folder.
i chose the same name in VS as my arduino examples folder sketch and i was getting this
Code
Select All
Compiling '...(your example name sketch)...' for 'Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK'
Couldn't determine program size:

and the short story  VS cant compile a solution with the same name as your example sketch (but dont now why)
i chose to make a project with a different name alls my example sketch folder and it work
(do you understand me now?)

I think so but I will have to try it because that is how I tested another sketch recently. Thanks for the info. I guess when you changed the project name you also changed the sketch name?
