Fastled: Unable to complile for Adafruit nRF52840 feather

Created on 13 Dec 2019  Â·  12Comments  Â·  Source: FastLED/FastLED

I am new to the arduino space and am hopeful that I am making a rookie mistake here but I've been all across the web and cannot for the life of me find a resolution to my issue. This is leading me to believe there is an issue.

I am working on a project that makes use of the Adafruit nRF52840 feather and WS2812B LEDs. I am using the Arduino IDE version 1.8.10, Adafreuit nRF52 board management library 0.14.6 and the latest release of FastLED 3.3.2.

I would like to note I've tested this setup using the Adafruit NeoPixels library and everything runs great.

To test FastLED out I am trying the Cyclon.ino file from the examples directory verbatim (https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tree/3.3.2/examples/Cylon).

Strangely enough I am receiving the following compiler errors.

This is leading me to believe that there must be a definition missing somewhere. I am hoping that this is a simple fix and the issue can be remedied quickly.

If I got that error, I'd making sure I wasn't missing a semicolon somewhere before the #include of the fastled library.

But if you took the example verbatim, I'm not sure. Although, the example has the #include on line 1, and your error message indicates the #include is on line 14.

The error is in the library file and not the code referencing it. As noted I am using the sample files provided with the library.

ohiodev007 picture ohiodev007 on 16 Dec 2019

may be same issue than for the NRF52832 (#919)
For me that : https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/issues/919#issuecomment-553543763 fixed it :

Uncommenting the #define entries in fastpin_arm_nrf52.h :

define NRF_P0_BASE 0x50000000UL

define NRF_P1_BASE 0x50000300UL

This has a correct fix in a PR that's reviewed and ready: #900

The problem is straightforward, just waiting for the maintainers to review / approve the PR.

@henrygab thanks!

@henrygab I am having this same issue and have tested that PR on this board and it is still giving me the same errors. Any other ideas?

gregsqueeb picture gregsqueeb on 3 Jan 2020

I got it to compile. I think someone might have forgotten an underscore.

I changed this line in fastpin_arm_nrf52.h
#define FL_DEFPIN(ARDUINO_PIN, BOARD_PIN, BOARD_PORT) \

to include an underscore before FL_DEFPIN, so the line now looks like this and compiles:
#define _FL_DEFPIN(ARDUINO_PIN, BOARD_PIN, BOARD_PORT) \

gregsqueeb picture gregsqueeb on 3 Jan 2020

@ohiodev007 This should fix things not compiling: https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/pull/946

gregsqueeb picture gregsqueeb on 3 Jan 2020

@gregsqueeb -- Well done! This looks like a good fix to me, and it matches the use of that macro in from the other boards in this library. I am considering opening a branch in my fork, just to combine all the nRF52-related changes, to make it easier for everyone else to find the necessary changes. will update if/when I do that.

@ohiodev007 -- last fix was merged yesterday, so I think if you build directly from master now, it should compile. (Next release should have the fixes also.) Yay!

henrygab picture henrygab on 31 Jan 2020

@ohiodev007 -- This should be fixed in release 3.3.3. Can you confirm / close if this resolves the issue for you? Thanks!

henrygab picture henrygab on 4 Feb 2020

I'm going to close this, as I think it is working now. If there are further problems we can reopen it, or start a new ticket for the new issues.
Thanks for the report, and the help getting it working.
