mePed Forum

Hi,

I just bought the mePed v2, it is a really nice starting kit!!
I'm about to start programming and I want to get some tips.
I have downloaded the Arduino IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
When I first compiled the mePed v2 software (http://www.meped.io/sites/default/files ... rogram.ino) I got some errors about the IRremote library (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3300 ... this-scope)
Then, I downloaded this library https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote and got the code compiling.

So, my question here is, do you think it will work when I upload the new binary to the meped v2?
My other question, in case it won't work, is there any way I can get the current binary and restore it in case of problems?

Thanks a lot, great product !!

any comment?

tried and worked pretty well !!

I apologize for the troubles you're having and the long delay in responding! There seems to be an IR Library conflict but it's easy to fix.

If you're running windows, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the file mentioned in the error message (C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\RobotIRremote\src\), then locate the file named IRremoteTools.cpp and rename it to something like IRremoteTools.cpp.old and this should fix the problem.

I think the Robot IR Remote library is overriding the original IR Remote library and is causing this issue. Simply renaming the file makes it so the Arduino IDE can't find the file that's messing things up and it reverts back to the original IR library.
