tagtool mini

[Juan Pablo Contreras Cea]

hello all
I have the following problem

aaaaa1.cpp: In function 'void loop ()':
aaaaa1.pde: -1: error: 'byte' was not Declared In This Scope

As of Arduino 1.0, the 'BYTE' keyword is No Longer Supported.
Please use Serial.write () instead.

can you help me please

Hello,

have you tried to write your own programm for the arduino?

The message is about an undeclared datatype in the pde- file, this is
"programming stuff".
If you do not try to write your own programm for the arduino, either
your pde file is damaged, so you need to download it again and try
again, or the file needs to be adjusted to the new release of arduino.
If you do try to write your own pde- file (which, as far as I know,
should not be necessary to work with the tagtool), I need your code to
tell anything.

Greetings,
Alex

Hi!

I have the same problem. I am not programmer, but I think the problem
is because of new Arduino firmware that don't work with old version of
Tagtool Arduino Program. Is here anybody that is programmer and can
update code?

I just built a tagtool mini and I had the same problem.
For the version still linked from the tagtool site (sketch_deec27b),
the error is thrown by the following line in the source:
Serial.print(((int)des_slider1.predict_t0())/4, BYTE);
with the error message:
"As of Arduino 1.0, the 'BYTE' keyword is no longer supported.
Please use Serial.write() instead."

I found this link:
http://wyolum.com/?p=624
and changed the offending lines using:
Replace Serial.print(val, BYTE); with Serial.write(val);

It did compile and upload.

BUT so far I can not get my tagtool to work. I am trying on a Dell
with Windows 7 and had to install .net4.0 as 2.0 was 32bit, or so it
said. This is off topic but so far I can't tell if this, the arduino
sketch code is the problem, or something else. I tried running
nodekit and do not see anything in the tagtool window when I move the
pots.

Hi Balam here is Stefanie from Vienna. Last week I built my first tagtool and together with Matthias (one of the founders) I tried to bring the arduino leonardo to work.

But we did not manage to find the right sketch because Leonardo is a quiet new version of arduino. Right now we do not know what to do, but Matthias told me that you are a very good sketch writer and maybe you can help us out.

Thank you very much for any information.

Greetings Stefanie

Hi all,

We copied this code above - uploaded it onto an Arduino Leonardo (Windows 7) - Uploaded successfully - but Nodekit doesn´t seems to recognize the Tagtool controller after scanning the COM port several times.

Is it the patch? Is it the new Arduino environment? 

Any clue,

iink

Hi, to all they have a pane on ass with the LEONARDO Arduino.

 

 I managed to change the code for arduino LEONARDO.

You need to use serial1 rx tx pin (via a rs232ttl to usb Serial cable), due the usb com is not communicating (or i didn´t manage)

the BYTE Problem is solved too, delete the BYTE and Change Serial.print to Serial1.write(valS1 / 4),due some changes in the arduino Software

 

take a look at the rgb leds for the Color brush at. http://www.tagtool.org/wp/2009/06/04/the-gambiological-tagtool/

Mine is working, sooo coool, just using a cutable rgb led Strip on the PWM channels!!!

 

Have FUN

FunkIt all, meine gute TAT für HEUTE...LOL

Achso, für die Erfinder arbeite ich jetzt schon, LOL, hab da was an Matthias geschickt....
