Just ran VERIFY on the sktech. It produces the same errors when trying to upload. This output is with verbose on.

    Which version of Arduino and FastLED are you using? Can you compile any of the FastLED examples?

    This looks like a version mismatch issue to me- at some point in recent Arduino releases (maybe the jump from 1.0 to 1.6), the GCC compiler version was updated from a really old but stable one to a newer version, and this affected how PROGMEM works.

    Same here, but on mac os El Capitan.
    Did brew update, brew upgrade. Also tried on 1.6.5 and 1.6.0 same result.
    Some of example are compiling though: ButtonExample, ColorSwirl and HelloBlinky works, but LotsOfLeds doesn't.
    stack trace:
    Arduino: 1.6.0 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Leonardo"

    Build options changed, rebuilding all

    Error compiling.

    This report would have more information with
    "Show verbose output during compilation"
    enabled in File > Preferences.

    Ah, now I see. FastLED 3.1 redefined PROGMEM to be:
    #define PROGMEM __attribute__((section(".progmem.data")))

    which breaks the function definitions in animation.h. Looking at it now...

    A workaround for the moment would be to use FastLED 3.0. Apologies for the trouble!
  • Matt MetsMatt Mets
    Ok, here's an updated version:
    https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape_Arduino/releases/tag/2.0.0

    I've updated the class definition for Animation, to remove references to PROGMEM. This was a bug that got exposed by the new version of FastLED. Let me know if there are any issues!
  • blinkyPeablinkyPea
    Thanks for this fix. The sketches now build properly on my Win10 Machine
  • Matt MetsMatt Mets
    Great!
