Arduino blemidi example compile errors ItsyBitsy nRF52840 Ex

Post by LessMore »

I don't have formal training on C++, writing drivers, tool chains, etc. but know enough to have made several Arduino based projects...

Adafruit nRG52 boards / ItsyBitsy nRF52840 Express

Just check compiling to validate library components (have compiled a simple test to the board, not another usb cable issue)

I get no error test compiling 6 examples from Adafruit Bluefruit nRF52 Libraries, including: central_HID, hardware/adc, Peripheral/beacon, Peripheral/bleuart

Only getting compile errors with blemidi example, apparently from midi.h

Is the Arduino MIDI library from FortySevenEffects the correct one, (found no specific instruction) saw FortySevenEffects mentioned in a tutorial example.

Library manager installed Zip DL after not identifying it in the available libraries.
Tried removing directory and installing form installer menu after identifying it as:
MIDI Library
by Francois Best. iathoub Version 5.0.2 (github title: FortySevenEffects / arduino_midi_library)


Excerpts from errors:

Any helpful clues woul be appreciated

You are using the correct Arduino MIDI library by Forty Seven Effects.

I've seen a related compile error with the BLE MIDI Library which I thought got a stub fix last summer for backwards compatibility. I suppose you could backdown to v4.x of the MIDI library?

A small step forward:

Installing MIDI Library version 4.3.1 (in place of the current latest 5.02)
FIXED IT, Made the test compile error go away. Thanks for the guidance

Aside from future version 5.X compatibility fix

The MIDI Library reference in code might be better clarified
Some example code mentions FortySevenEffects
but that name does not appear in the Library Manager listing.

This is the current description that appears:

MIDI Library
by Francois Best, lathoub
MIDI I/Os for Arduino Read & send MIDI messages to interface with your controllers and synths

(The manager's search doesn't help that much, searching "MIDI Library" still yields >100 results, one has to know to scroll down the alphabetical sorted results to MIDI Library.

Glad you were able to resolve this with a MIDI Library version rollback to 4.3.1. I updated the guide to reflect the authors new name and older version.
