I'm looking around for that now... amazing what a word of encouragement from Adafruit will do!
I found something called "Brad's Spin Tool" (I use an iMac), but it's got a bunch of junk about fonts and this and that...
I will keep looking for "spincompiler"

Thanks <can't turn off smilies, but I am smiling>

twitwidget - error compiling from source

Post by paulzee »

Hi folks,

I've just built my YBox2, the hardware is running fine, and the demo weather widget works great.

Now I'd like to get a modified Twitwidget running on the YBox2.

I downloaded and installed Propeller Tool, and I think I've downloaded the appropriate source files from http://svn.deepdarc.com/code/ybox2/trunk/firmware (although I haven't downloaded every file). However, when I try to compile the source files in Propeller Tool, I'm getting an "Undefined Symbol" Error apparently in Fast_I2C_Driver, with "Zero" in the following code being highlighted in the Prop Tool editor:

Code: Select all

  DAT
              org
  init
              
  loop          wrlong  zero,par       
This is my first time using YBox2 and the Propeller Tool.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong, or where to look for a solution?

Thanks,

Paul Zee

Ok.. I clicked on the link to parallax, but what is the name of the spin compiler I am looking for for windows?
Will this turn the twit and tv spin files in to binary files? How do I load both of those files to the ybox or does the compiler combine the two and load via ethernet?

I have a prop chip kit but have not messed with it yet or spin.
the original twitwidget loads but does nothing but display server info ..etc.

Hehehe.. need rogain yet? :P

Ok.. think I found a spin compiler spin tool.. ??
used it to open the twitxmlwidget.spin file that was posted in forum. When I click on the run tab i get a drop down list with compile current and compile top etc as options and they have submenus of (f8-f11) which do I select..
I have tried them all and get a similar error on all of them :
Spin compile error
