Unable To Compile/Upload LIFA_Base onto Arduino Uno

[free_fury]

Hey guys, so I have been trying to upload the LIFA_Base file onto my Arduino Uno for the past week now and it gives me the same error every single time. Here are the following messages I recieved. I tried adding LabVIEW interface to the LIFA_Base sketch, and these are the resulting messages. I am a MacBook User. I have attached a screenshot to show what happens when I try to solely upload LIFA_Base.

When you open LIFA_Base.ino through the Arduino IDE, it should open all files that are in the folder including LabVIEWInterface.ino and LabVIEWInterface.h (all in tabs).  If not all of these files open, this will cause these types of errors in my experience.

Yeah I realized that was a problem. So I added the LabVIEWInterface file to the LIFA base by using "add sketch". I don't know why it's still giving me this problem. I installed the latest drivers, and have the toolkit on LabView. I also noticed that I do not have a tab labeled LabVIEWInterface.h, is it posible for someone to send me the Mac Version of this file? I possess the rest of the tabs.

is it possible for anyone to give me the LabVIEWInterface.h file for the mac? I lack that one. Please?

[Nathan_B.]

That file is not OS dependent.  It is located in the LIFA Firmware folder.  If it's not there, you probably need to re-install LIFA (or maybe check your recycle bin).

What version of the IDE are you using? I know the latest version has a few known compiling bugs. I too have been having the same problem. I'm extracing 1.0.5 right now to see if it has to do with the version. Be back in 20 minutes when it's done extracting.

[jeremiahb]

Yes it has to do with the version. Download 1.0.5 It compiled just fine for me. Proof Below.

where can I download the LIFA_Base? Thanks guys for all the help.

[Nathan_B.]

It comes with LIFA when you install it.  You simply browse to "<program files>\National Instruments\LabVIEW XXXX\vi.lib\LabVIEW Interface for Arduino\Firmware\LIFA_Base"

Hey Guys! So I ended up removing arduino entirely and removed the toolkit as well. Then, I simply reinstalled everything and it worked like a charm! Thanks everyone!!!! You guys rock
