emonGLCD Home Energy Monitor sketch will not compile

Submitted by hendersoniain on Sun, 20/10/2013 - 19:27

Very new to this. Just trying to compile the emonGLCD Home Energy Monitor sketch downloaded with EmonGLCD-master. I always get the following compile errors:

 

D:\My Documents\Personal\Open Energy Monitor\arduino-1.0.5\libraries\rtclib\RTClib.cpp: In static member function 'static uint8_t RTC_DS1388::EEPROMRead(uint16_t)':

Not sure what to do next.  Any ideas?

When I look at my RTCLib, I haven't got 368 lines, and I've never seen that problem! It appears that Jean-Claude has added some real-time routines to his library and there's a conflict in there.

The Wire library function requestFrom is overloaded to accept either two parameters of uint8_t or two of int type. It seems RTClib  is calling it with a uint8_t as the first, and a constant "1" or "8" as the second. I think the compiler is treating the constant as signed!

I'd try casting the constant to a uint8_t !

Or get an older copy of RTClib - I've attached the one I'm using, I suggest you try that.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately my coding skills are fairly basic so to try as you suggest will take me some time to work it out.

I tried your older copy of RTClib and the compiler errors change:

but I'm guessing from these different errors I maybe need some older versions of some other libraries or code.

Can you get a simple sketch to work, such as "blink.ino"?

Hmmm. I'm confused. I couldn't understand why you got that error last night, but it was late! I've got Arduino 1.0.5 too, I've just set up the 6-days old RTCLib and the Tester sketch has compiled error-free for me. But I get the same errors as you do for emonGLCD_HEM.ino

[Robin - it's a libraries issue!  Specifically the Arduino Wire and JCW's RTCLib]

So what I've done:

In RTClib.cpp I changed line 368 to

Wire.requestFrom(getEEPROMBank(pos), 1U);

and line 407 to

Wire.requestFrom(getEEPROMBank((uint16_t)page * 8), 8U);

(In each case, 'U' is telling the compiler to treat the number (1 or 8) as unsigned rather than signed, and that keeps it happy.)

Thanks. That allowed to compile error free by changing the numbers 1 and 8 to unsigned numbers. Before the Tester sketch and the GLCD_SMM sketch compiled OK but not the HomeEnergyMonitor or SolarPV sketches. Now the HomeEnergyMonitor and SolarPV sketches compile and upload fine. Now I can start playing and try to learn a bit more about it all. Thanks for your help - much appreciated.
