Building with #include<WaspSensorSmart.h> I get the following error:

WaspSensorSmart.h:162: error: 'byte' has not been declared

I get no compilation errors for the inclusion or for any of the method calls. the depenancy tree for WaspSensorSmart.h includes inttypes.h and stdint.h, but I don't see byte declared any where in those.

Was WaspSensorSmart.h simply included but unfinished at my version of the api?

Any advice as to what went wrong is appreciated.

Hi hardya,

it is a strange error, a byte is a type defined in file wiring.h, one of the basic files of the API. A library may have some flaws and can always be improved, but always it is uploaded to our website it is checked that there are no compilation errors. Did you modify any of the API files? Which version are you using? Could you please post the code that returned this error?

Regards.

That may be but that file never gets included directly or indirectly by WaspSensorSmart.h. And although the depenancy tree for WaspSensorSmart.h includes inttypes.h and stdint.h, but I don't see byte declared any where in those.



You get the error as soon as you include WaspSensorSmart.h. May be no tests included it?



No.



This happened when I had v21 and now still happens when I have v25.



Most of my code is not relevant, but if you want to recreate the error take your example program WaspXBee802_2_sending_receivingB and add at the top ...

#include<WaspSensorSmart.h>

...and it will fail. You could also add...

// Initialise Smart Board
SensorSmart.setBoardMode(SENS_ON);
SensorSmart.setSensorMode(SENS_ON, SENS_SMART_EFERGY);
delay(50);

...in setup() and it still fails.

I have successfully compiled loaded and executed using WaspSensorSmart_v20.h instead, however I have been 'told' not to use this because I have boards that just say "Smart Metering" and not "Smart Metering v20".

I would be very grateful for a fix / work around because this is affecting my progrees.

Many thanks in deed.

Hi hardya,

the problem is the #include you added at the top, since the API library is included in the WaspClasses.h file, as long as the wiring.h. Remove it and it will work.

Regards.

Ok, so the pde file is not like regular code, where a double inclusion of a header will be ignored, but the pde goes through a process right? and the different bits are moved into appropriate places in the real code, right?

Thanks for that, I do appreciate your help.

Kind Regards,

Andrew

Hi hardya,

that's correct, it is owed to the integration of both C and C++ files in the same project, and the way the compiler deals with it.

Regards.
