problem of updating the LIFA Arduino mega

[betterthanyou]

hello my friends,

when i use arduino uno i didn't find any problem but when i use arduino mega  i have problem in uploading the code in arduino mega (i use Labview 2012)

[Kristoff2]

Can you post the build output (the orange text).  Did you make sure to select the correct COM port and board type in the Arduino IDE?  Can you deploy a simple sketch to the Arduino MEGA?

Thanks!

  the problem is in LIFA.pde ,  problem in IR remote (library),version of labview interface arduino is 2.2.0.79 when i use version in VI PACKAGE MANAGER (version 2.20.78)

i didn't find in my disc firmware for arduino  to uploading so the problems is in two new version

Version 2.2.079 has been the current version for quite some time now (since August 2012 IIRC) and should be the default in the VI Package Manager (note that you can get all the older versions with the VI Package Manager also).

It sounds like one of the libraries is getting loaded twice.  If you could provide the whole output of the compiler error (the orange text) along with the answers to Sammy's other questions, it will be much easier to help you.

Hello,

I'm having the same problem. I would really, really like to be able to use LabVIEW with the Mega, as I have three of them, powering different robots. I have the correct board and port selected in the 'Tools' menu.

These are the error messages I get.

Since LIFA has not been updated for some time (and won't be udpated anymore), you will not be able to use the latest IDE version.  Using 1.0.5, make sure you don't have multiple of the same file loaded when you compile.  Also, make sure that you don't have libraries registered via Arduino IDE that are included with LIFA.  If that doesn't pan out, I would try a slightly older IDE (at least 1.0).
