multi-touch display shield Multi-Touch Display Shield Error Compiling Arduino Uno

[Evan Marshalsey]

Hi,

I have purchased the Multi-Touch Display Shield, see link below for actual model.

https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/add-ons/mtdshield/start

I have downloaded the Arduino IDE folder, installed the mtds & MyDisp libraries and followed the QuickStart.txt.

When I open an example from either of those libraries and attempt to compile, it fails and lists loads of errors (Please see .txt file attached where I have copied error messages).

I have my Arduino Uno selected and the libraries installed, there are errors in the followings directories:

\Arduino\libraries\MyDisp\Examples\MyDispDemo\MyDispDemo1\MyDispDemo1.pde

\Arduino\libraries\mtds\MtdsCore.cpp

\Arduino\libraries\mtds\MtdsFs.cpp

\Arduino\libraries\mtds\MtdsHal.cpp

Does anyone know what is causing this, I have tried both Arduino 1.6.9 & 1.8.5 but it shows the same errors.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Evan

Hi @Evan Marshalsey,

I was (presumably) able to replicate the error associated with MtdsHal.cpp (with the p32_spi not naming a type) when compiling for the Arduino Uno on the Arduino IDE 1.6.9. The error message that you attached is actually empty (at least when I click on it) so I am not certain if that is the same thing you are seeing. 

I am looking into this more to see if I can solve the issue or if there is some misinformation with the Pmod MTDS.

Thank you,
JColvin

Hi @Evan Marshalsey,

Wanted to let you know that we have not forgot about your post. We are still looking into this issue for the Arduino uno and the MTDS.

thank you,

Hi @Evan Marshalsey,

We have reached out to the MTDS library creator about the issue with using the Arduino UNO. The creator of this library is retired so this might take a little time to get a response for you.

thank you,
