- Fri Jan 15, 2016 11:12 am #38869 I thought I'd give this one a spin to try out the Arduino IDE (I'm not an Arduino regular and up until now I've been writing Lua on nodemcu). To begin with, I installed the Arduino IDE 1.6.7 and nodemcu board then successfully compiled some example sketches and got them blinking LEDs on nodemcu board. So far, so good then.

So now I followed the guide here and on Instructables and installed the libraries required by lightclockwifi (TimeAlarms, NTP and NeoPixelBus). However, when I compile, a vast number of errors are flagged up (far too many to list here) but the first few below:

Code: Select allArduino: 1.6.7 (Windows 7), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Serial, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"

...and on and on it goes. Obviously I'm making some noobish mistake, but I'm not sure what? At first I fell into the trap of installing libraries from GitHub as Zip files ending in '-master'. I since renamed them to match the name of the .ino & .h files but the errors seem to be due to something different.

- Fri Jan 15, 2016 6:17 pm #38906 Looks like you may not have got all the libraries? There are more than just the ones I have on github.

Also, A lot of people are reporting problems when using IDE 1.6.6, I've not heard of anyone testing 1.6.7, but maybe roll-back to 1.6.5 and test that.

Also, A lot of people are reporting problems when using IDE 1.6.6, I've not heard of anyone testing 1.6.7, but maybe roll-back to 1.6.5 and test that.

Puzzling, I just set up a fresh 1.6.5 on another computer, installed the three additional libraries I think are needed: TimeAlarms, NTP and NeoPixelBus. These three are the only ones flagged as missing when attempting to compile with the just files in your lightclockwifiv2 project folder, yet it still throws a ton of compilation errors.

To begin with the errors are coming from the TimeAlarms and NTP libs themselves so it's not like they aren't there. I can't understand what's going on.

- Sat Jan 16, 2016 10:49 am #38976 Most of those undefines are actually defined in Time.h.
are you including this library somehow ?
