unexpected token: def

Hi all,

I'm newbie here and I'm confused because I've followed all steps to have processing / arduino running here, but still I'm getting unexpected errors.

The top of the code:

// Maurice Ribble 
// 6-28-2009
// http://www.glacialwanderer.com/hobbyrobotics

#define AI0 0
#define AI1 1
#define AI2 2
#define AI3 3
#define AI4 4
#define AI5 5

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

ERROR: unexpected token: def on line 5 #define AI0 0

I've installed the Android Mode but it seems not to recognize the arduino syntax.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've installed the Android Mode but it seems not to recognize the Arduino syntax.

Android Mode uses a Java-like syntax too. Arduino uses a C-like syntax instead! b-(

You cannot use #define in processing as GoToLoop said processing is based on top of java. If you want to use processing with arduino check the serial examples http://www.processing.org/reference/libraries/serial/.

koogs

if these are simple constants you can replace them with

public static Integer AI0 = 0;

(replace Integer with the required type)

GoToLoop

For Java-equivalent for #define performance-wise, we gotta use final for primitive & String! :-B
And while we're at it, slap a static as well! :)>-

static final int AI0 = 0, AI1 = 1, AI2 = 2;  // etc...

mmm I guess i got crazy, I setup the Android mode in Processing, thinking on Arduino mode XD

thanks ;)
