P8X32A QuickStart 3: Introduction to Spin Objects

Waruma

Hello - I'm entirely new to the propeller and the spin language. I'm trying to go through the Quickstart examples since I recently received my P8X32A in the mail, but I'm getting stuck on lesson 3. In this specific intro to Objects, it references the "E555_LEDEngine.spin" object, but I can't compile the code because I get an error "Cannot find object 'E555_LEDEngine.spin' in editor tabs, work folder or library folder."

I tried looking on the OBEX website, but I can't find any record of this specific object anywhere. How do I use objects? Do I have to install them, or do I have to include them in my project or something?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Waruma

Objects are just Spin files which must be copied to the project directory (the same directory as your demo source code) or in the propeller-library directory (the root propeller-tool directory where also the Propeller.exe is located).
General objects should be in the library directory, special objects for a project should be in the project directory.

At the bottom of the "QuickStart 3: Introduction to Spin Objects" page you can download a zip file, which contains all the necessary files, also the "E555_LEDEngine.spin" object.

Andy,

Thank you so much for the response. I didn't even see that zip file down at the bottom of the page. I'll put the file where you said and give it another go.

Thanks again,

Waruma
