SimpleIDE bug???

NWCCTV · 2013-07-05 12:21

I know SimpleIDE is still in Beta but I have been using it this past week so I can get use to it. I really like it but I have noticed that when I add code to my Project files and close the Project, the entire Project is saved as is whether I choose to discard or not. This is a little annoying as I am trying to use the examples and do not wish to overwrite them. Even when I do a "Save As" a different file name and then close the Project, it comes back up with the most recent code I have entered. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, I tried to create a New Project and when I copy and pasted the code from the examples for the Servoramp.c I receive an error message when trying to compile. I tried with an exact duplicate of the code that was copy and pasted to my new project and I receive an error pertaining to invalid reference to _mark. I searched servo.h for this and could not find it.

Hi. I've logged an issue for the first problem.
https://code.google.com/p/propside/issues/detail?id=164

The second problem you mentioned is addressed in a newer package.
Can you copy/paste your code here so I can verify the new version will address the issue?

We have gone to great lengths to let folks just copy/paste code (not an original design goal).
https://code.google.com/p/propside/downloads/detail?name=Simple-IDE_0-9-34_setup.zip

This is not a release candidate and there may be changes to Simple Libraries and/or APIs before release.

If you download 0-9-34, please follow the instructions from that page:

Remove C:\propgcc if it exists.

Uninstall any previous package, then unzip installer and run.
Remove or rename Documents\SimpleIDE folder, then run SimpleIDE.

This version provides support for multi-user install, auto-include library, and translations for French/Spanish.

I am running 0.9.28. Should I upgrade? Below is the code that I copied directly from the Servo Project. It runs fine when first opened. However, Like I said, if I select Project/New and paste this same code it will not compile and will not compile and throws the error. I am attaching the error in code brackets below the source code.

/*Standard Servo with Ramping.c
Moves servo to 0, 90 and 180 degrees. Allows 2 seconds to get to 
each position. Uses ramping to gradually move the servo to the target.

*/


#include "simpletools.h" // Include simpletools header
#include "servo.h" // Include servo header


int main() // main function
{
servo_angle(16, 0); // P16 servo to 0 degrees
pause(3000); // ...for 3 seconds
servo_angle(16, 900); // P16 servo to 90 degrees
pause(3000); // ...for 3 seconds
servo_angle(16, 1800); // P16 servo to 180 degrees
pause(3000); // ...for 3 seconds
servo_stop(); // Stop servo process
}

Yes, this is expected in v0-9-28 because just copy/paste will not work. In v0-9-28, you have to add libraries for it to work. Version 0-9-34 adds libraries for you but compiles slower.

So, yes, you should upgrade to v0-9-34 ... the package is smaller too

Will do. Does the Library need to be updated also?

No.

However, if you remove or rename your Documents\SimpleIDE folder and restart SimpleIDE, you will get a new workspace and libraries in Documents\SimpleIDE copied from the Program Files\SimpleIDE\Workspace folder.

Cool. The copy/paste works now. Thanks for the heads up. Is there a way to find out when new releases are posted? I have been watching for updates but did not see any mention of this one on the Forums.

Our deadline for a general release is before the end of summer. We are still working on libraries.
