Bot Board II error

When I try to Compile using the Atom software i get this error message:

C:\PROGRAM\POWERPOD\SPINDELPROG.BAS
Error: FILE C:\PROGRAM\POWERPOD\SPINDELPROG.BAS(LINE 92) : [TOKEN PIN] : Unexpected token type
Errors Detected

Anyone knows what the problem is?

My guess is the program was an output of powerpod? With some set of unknown configuration options. With some version of the atom software… So we need more information to help.

Probably the easiest way for someone to help would be if you paste the contents of line 92 into your message and maybe a few lines on both sides of it…

good Luck

The most common problem when creating your custom hexapod program with PowerPod is the wrong IDE is selected. PowerPod currently uses the Atom 28, not the Atom Pro. You need to make sure the IDE selected when creating your code is the same version you use to program the chip. We need input… (more info please)

leo,

I think I experienced the same problem awhile back. The basic code generated by PowerPod looked something like this in the problem area:

;-------------Constants
PS2 Controller / BotBoard II	(PS2 controller => pin 12, 13, 14, 15)
DAT con P12

and the Basic Atom IDE spit out a similar error message. The fix was just to comment out the offending line with a semicolon so that it looked like:

;-------------Constants
;PS2 Controller / BotBoard II	(PS2 controller => pin 12, 13, 14, 15)
DAT con P12

In my case the program compiled with out error after this correction. My notes are a bit sketchy but I believe this was with PowerPod version 1.02 and IDE version 5.3.1.0

Hope this helps.

Now that looks like a bug. I will email Laurent so he knows to take a look at it.

Yup, mafin is right,

the semicolon is missing :blush:
the new pmp file corrected will be online next monday.

for now you can add it manually to set this line as comment.

I’ve updated the PowerPod files online. You can download them here:

Thanks, all!

We managed to get the robot working after fiddling with the source code.

Hm, I was going to show you an image but the forum wont let me :frowning:

It will be used in a Swedish movie called Kenny begins as the sidekick to the evil guy :slight_smile:

Edit: Should perhaps mention that we are talking about a modified CH3-R…

Best regards

Congrats on getting the robot working! Very cool that it’s going to be in a movie. Is there any information about this movie on the internet? I checked IMDB but didn’t find anything there.

You should be able to post pictures tomorrow, but in the meantime if you’d like, you can send the pictures or links to the pictures to me via email and I will post them for you.

Hm, it seems like Im still not a trusted forum user :frowning:

Beth, I’ll send you some links.

Picture of the CH3-R after some modifications:

I dont think it is quite finished yet and I hope to receive some more pictures later on.

The Swedish movie Kenny Begins is a sequel to Kenny StarFighter.

Beth, ignore my mail :slight_smile:

I like the aluminum dome! What are the two red flares of light that look like eyes? Reflections? They look ominous!

I had some small Plexiglas domes put away, but when I found them, they were smaller then I remembered.
