Activitybot C code for qti sensors won't run

RichT

Hi
We are having trouble loading code for qti sensors from the Activitybot C code folder (most recent version). We keep getting this error: simpletools.h: No such file or directory. We are using the most recent version of the Learn folder. Does anyone know how we can fix this?

Please post your code, preferably between code blocks (click on the "C" in the edit bar and paste your code between them.

thanks
Tom

I would seem that where ever you have the QTI library it is outside the SimpleIDE folder.

It's having a problem finding the base include files.

THanks. The qti folder is inside the Simple IDE learn folder. One of the qti programmes runs, the one I posted doesn't.

When I tried to compile the code above I got a couple of errors.
The first was the ";" after the function name (line 96 in SimpleIDE).

int getQTIs(int highPin, int lowPin);

There should not be a semicolon after the function name in the function.

The next was line 30, the line before the switch statement

QTIs();

I think this should be

getQTIs(pin number, pinnumber);

I'm not sure what highpin and lowpin are in your program. I just used 7 and 6 to see if it would compile and it did.

getQTIs(7, 6);

I did not get an error

simpletools.h: No such file or directory

My version of SimpleIDE is 1.1.0, and I have the 1/23/18 library update.

Hope this helps
Tom

Thanks. I will try this.
