Creating a Message Display on basic I/O shield

[Laplante438]

Hello,

 

I’m a beginner with the chipKIT Max32 and the Basic I/O shield. I found a sketch example I would like to try in https://learn.digilentinc.com/Documents/326 (Step 3: Writing and Drawing). When I try to copy the code and paste it in MPIDE I get a bunch of error. What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Hi Alain,

Did you install the IOShieldOLED library? Here is a link to three different demos for the basic I/O shield. One is the IOShieldOLED demo which has the library  IOShieldOled.h. After you install the librarys as describe here you will be able to just copy and paste the code into a sketch. The only change i had to make was from the line

 IOShieldOled.setDrawMode(modeAnd);

to

IOShieldOled.setDrawMode(IOShieldOled.modeAnd);

and it works. I have already put in a request to fix this error on the webpage. Hope this Helps!

cheers,

Jon

Thank you Jon !

Yes I did install the IOShieldOLED library. I've been able to upload and run the Oled Full Demo but not the sketch I've copied from the website. I will try the modification you made and I let you know it goes.

Thanks again for your help,

Alain
