Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hey there,
I'm new to microcontrollers, so go easy on me :)
My goal is to use a sensor via I2C protocol on my TI Controller. I use a example project from the resourcce explorer as base. Should I use bitfield or driverlib examples? The sensor is the VL6180X time of flight laser sensor. On the linked page there is an API that should help the enduser with different .h and .c files, so you just call a function like VL6180X_GetRange() and with everything initialized and working it should handle the I2C protocol and etc.
My first big problem was, that CCS is apparently not capable to include these files in a project via the project include function. I tried everything, Compiler, linker, I added every patch and even the files by themselves but while compiling CCS could just not find them. The solution was to add the files manually on the highest level in the project and now voila. Whats the matter with this?!?!
My second problem is that I am not able to compile the project including the API without errors. According to this integration guide, it needs some porting but I don't know what to do anymore. One of my biggest errors are from this type:
#258 invalid redeclaration of type name "uint32_t" (declared at line 70 of "C:/ti/ccs1010/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-c2000_20.2.1.LTS/include/sys/_stdint.h") vl6180x_types.h /alaub_mark02 line 74 C/C++ Problem
One can download the VL6180X_types.h file from the first link, I might try to upload it directly in here.
So the problem relies on these double declarations of the type lengths. I changed them accordingly but it just wont work. Has anyone an idea?
