Error Compiling - Library HID-Project
Dec 3rd, 2015 at 3:26am
Print Post  
The below sample code utilizes the https://github.com/NicoHood/HID library.  

Code (C++)
Select All
#include <HID-Project.h>
#include <HID-Settings.h>

void setup() {
  Keyboard.begin();
  System.begin(); 
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Keyboard.press(KEY_ENTER);
  Keyboard.release(KEY_ENTER);
  Keyboard.write(KEY_ENTER);
   Consumer.write(MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE);
}


It compiles fine under the Arduino 1.6.6 IDE.  Utilizing the latest Visual Micro (with visual studio 2013) the build process error out. Log file attached.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

There is a new special folder for libraries called \extras which we need to support in Visual Micro. Support will be added during the next week.

You can see in your error report(useful thanks) that the hid.h can't be located. This is because it is in the extras folder.

AbsoluteMouse.cpp:In file included from
AbsoluteMouse.h:29:17: fatal error: HID.h: No such file or directory
:#include "HID.h"

Hi,

This issue isn't what I thought. The problem is because arduino 1.6.6 has some new code to automatically discover libraries hidden in other libraries. This new feature will shortly be in visual micro but for now you have to do it the way things were done until a couple of weeks ago. #Include <HID.h> in your main sketch.ino.

However you need to wait for the next update in a few days because there is also a change to the way version numbers work and teensy uses the new format in the HID library.

Just tried the latest version 1512.10.0. But getting the same (or similar) errors.

added the #include <HID.h>

Code (C++)
Select All
#include <HID-Project.h>
#include <HID-Settings.h>
#include <HID.h>


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Keyboard.begin();
  Consumer.begin();
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Keyboard.press(KEY_ENTER);
  Keyboard.release(KEY_ENTER);
  Keyboard.write(KEY_ENTER);
   Consumer.write(MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE);
}


Log attached

Thanks, although the library now appears to compile the same as the arduino ide (using verbose output in both as a test)  I agree it fails as soon as some classes are referenced. 

It's strange I can't see any difference in the arduino build but there obviously is. I will try to find some time during the next week to look at the arduino builder source code again.

Hi, have you had time to investigate this issue yet?

Being new to Visual Studio I presumed the compile error was of my own making but eventually found this post.

May be nothing related but this is the only library that I use which makes use of the  ".hpp" file type.

Hi,

No sorry been clearing up more frequently hit bits from the changes of arduino end last year.

This weekend should see the final rendition and then over the next week or so hope to look at this.

In the meantime you can use "file>preferences>external editor" option of the arduino ide which allows code to be edited in VS then uploaded via the arduino ide with a single click.

Hi,

Over the past month there have been a lot of releases with library changes to bring inline with arduino 1.6.7

Hopefully you find it works with the latest release.

Hope to hear.

It appears that it is still broken.

It is not broken now, unless library is in folder:
%UserProfile%\Documents\Arduino\library\HID
That is, named exactly the same as
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries\HID
