Fastled: Arduino M0/ M0 Pro

[JFachet]

Hello, since the last topic on this issue was closed #292 (due to not answering) i'm trying it again. So: last time was asked which Arduino IDE was used:
I'm working with Arduino IDE 1.8 on OSX. When Compiling i get the following Errors:

I have the board Arduino M0 Pro (Programming Port) selected.

Turn on verbose compiling output in the arduino settings and put the log in gist and link to it here - I want to see what arduino is defining for the platform - for whatever reason, what it's setting is not including the samd21 chip definitions. (Note: I'm still mostly on hiatus from this project due to a death in the family, but if there's something quick here I can see about getting it done - also, I have not done any work with the arduino IDE since 1.6.xx, because of said death).

Hello, thank you for your fast response, here is the link to the verbose output (Arduino --> settings --> show verbose output during compilation): https://gist.github.com/tfach/3a52431b395a1d935d3dd88260be0c14
Sorry for your loss, this issue is not in a hurry.

I updated the Fastled version and posted a new Debug output. This time with Windows and Arduino 1.8.1.

Ah - I see the problem - they're defining ARDUINO_SAM_ZERO -- however I only have pin definitions for ARDUINO_SAMD_ZERO, ARDUINO_SAMD_WINO, and ARDUINO_SAMD_MKR1000 (see platforms/arm/d21/fastpin_arm_d21.h -- for laughs, try adding the line:

#define ARDUINO_SAMD_ZERO

before #include <FastLED.h>

not 100% sure that'll do what's expected -- but if the port/pin mappings are different on the arduino m0/m0pro than the arduino zero, then it won't work and i'll have to make up a new set of pin/port mappings at some point.

Done compiling. Wow that was fast. It is working now. thank you 👍

Hello, just installed FastLED library and I've exactly the same issue and cannot compile any sketch netiher the example ones. My modules are ESP8266.
I use Arduino IDE 1.6.12 with latest board library ESP8266 2.2.3

@papperone, copy the error(s) you're getting, paste it in https://gist.github.com or https://pastebin.com and post link to it here.

[papperone]

I updated Arduino IDE just in case to the latest 1.8.2 but error is still there

[jasoncoon]

Those aren't errors, they're pragma messages. The compile completed successfully.

[papperone]

thanks Jason, just for the sake of understading:
1) with previous IDE (1.6.12) the compile was not completed
2) you are right, compile is now completed but I still can't understand why I should get "red line" (which in standard language of colors are "ERRORS") if all is done correctly.
can you explain a bit more on point 2) and what is the purpouse of those "red text" at the end?

[jasoncoon]

No problem!

1. Sorry, not sure.
2. See any of these conversations for more info. You can disable them by including #define FASTLED_INTERNAL before #include

[papperone]

Thanks Jason :)

Also earlier today mark filed a bug with arruino folks to _not_ mark message output as an error - it is a bug on their part that they do.

Here's the bug reported to the Arduino IDE folks: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/6227
