Hi there,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm getting to the stage wehere I can start using MyRobotLab and testing sections as they're built. Unfortunately I am getting compiling and upload errors both on a Mac and a Windows machine. This is the machine I will be using in the battery copartment: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07NNWXMN5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the error message:

If anyone has encountered this before and can offer some help it would be appreciated.

Hello,

Try an older version of Arduino.exe.

This happens sometimes. I am using 1.8.4 and it works fine.

Hello Gael,

Thanks for replying.

I installed 1.8.4 on my Mac and PC and the error message is the same.

Mmmh...Strange.

Do you have real Arduino or some copy?

Did you configure the port and the arduino type in the arduino.exe before the upload?

Hi Gael,

I have been using the Arduino IDE for about 6 years and the Arduinos are real Arduino Mega 2560's. The ports are configured are COM3 for left side and COM4 for the right as Megas. I was able to upload mrlcomm.ino from a DELL Venue 8 tablet but since then, no luck.

Regards,

David

Hello,

So you have been able to load the same MRLComm.ino previously with another PC on the same Arduino.

I would try still another arduino.exe version.

I don't think it is related, but Manticore needs java 7 or 8, not higher to run MRL.

But you could make a post at myrobotlab.org, they might have another suggestion to propose.

I am still wondering why would the arduino.exe state the error:

Arduino: 1.8.10 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Uno"

if you have a Mega plugged in...

Hi Gael,

Sorry for the delay. Work got in the way.

The error log I pasted was from an old test to a UNO.

Here is the latest from my Mac:

I have made a post for you on MyRobotLab.org:

Some of the MRL Gurus will certainly have a suggestion.

Thank you Gael!

I got the .ino to upload finally. I added a 128GB SD card to my Mini PC and created a new mrl directory, started and installed all dependencies and it worked no problem.

I will follow up on MyRobotLab.org

Regards,

David

Hello,

I am glad you worked it out somehow!

Now that it works, what do you think was the issue?

What is the relation between the Mini PC and the Mac error?

Hello Gael,

I had it worked out but it has reverted back to the same error.

Grog made a comment that after adding the 128GB SD card and a fresh install of Manticore the issue resolved itself but it is back to the same error code.

I have a feeling that the Mini PC is not the way to go and I need to invest in an Intel NUC system.

Is there a minimum amount of HD space needed for a Manticore install?

Regards,

David

Hello David,

Normally once the MRLComm.ino is uploaded to your arduino, you don't need to do it again, unless you would want to install another version of MRL.

Note that all the Manticore versions carry the same MRLComm.ino

Why would you get the error again if the MRLComm.ino is already uploaded to your board?

Your MINI PC doesn't have much memory and a small processor, but I doubt it is the one to incriminate for the error code during upload.

Hello again,

Just thinking, maybe something is wrong somewhere during your process.

Note don't try to upload the MRLComm.ino via the Arduino tab inside Manticore.

-Make sure MRL is closed

-Open your Arduino.exe

-Navigate to open myrobotlab.1.0.2693/resources/Arduino/MRLComm/MRLComm.ino

-In arduino.exe, Select your Arduino and COM port.

-Upload the code

Good!

Yes the more recent IDE arduino versions are more strict with our MrlComm.ino.

Therefore you need to modify the line 53 from linkedlist.cpp to

return NULL

instead of:

return False
