Bicolor 8x8 is not programmming

Post by us3rname »

Heyd
i have recently bought an Adafruit 8x8 Bicolor IC² Matrix and I am starting to despair. I am triing for days not to find the Problem, which is very hard cuse I am not such a professional coder ... :cry:


F:\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_LEDBackpack\Adafruit_LEDBackpack.cpp: In constructor 'Adafruit_8x8matrix::Adafruit_8x8matrix()':
F:\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_LEDBackpack\Adafruit_LEDBackpack.cpp:97: error: no matching function for call to 'Adafruit_GFX::Adafruit_GFX(int, int)'
F:\Arduino\libraries\Robot_Control/Adafruit_GFX.h:41: note: candidates are: Adafruit_GFX::Adafruit_GFX(const Adafruit_GFX&)
F:\Arduino\libraries\Robot_Control/Adafruit_GFX.h:41: note: Adafruit_GFX::Adafruit_GFX()
F:\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_LEDBackpack\Adafruit_LEDBackpack.cpp: In constructor 'Adafruit_BicolorMatrix::Adafruit_BicolorMatrix()':
F:\Arduino\libraries\Adafruit_LEDBackpack\Adafruit_LEDBackpack.cpp:133: error: no matching function for call to 'Adafruit_GFX::Adafruit_GFX(int, int)'

Also not I am German so excuse my misspelling .... :D

It looks like you didn't install the Adafruit_GFX library: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library

The code for the LED matrix uses the GFX library, so you need both.

Oh.. you're getting hit by the 'robot problem'.

The folks who make the Arduino created a robot platform and built support for it into the IDE. Trouble is, it uses an older version of the Adafruit_GFX library to handle the robot's display hardware, and the IDE sees that version of the library first.

You can solve it by deleting any file whose name contains 'Adafruit' from the Arduino IDE's Java/libraries/Robot_Control and Java/libraries/TFT folder, or downgrading to 1.0.4.

That says you don't have the Adafruit_LEDBackpack library.

This tutorial has instructions for using the bicolor matrix: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-led- ... 8x8-matrix

Work through the steps there, and see if that works.
