Why is this happening?

The code is:

#include <IRremote.h>
const int echo = 7;// connected to ultrasonic sensor's echo
const int trig = 8;// connected to ultrasonic sensor's trig
const int Right1 = 10;
const int Right2 = 11;

• JRobert: Can you get a more readable shot of the messages? Or cut-and-paste them? This image is pretty difficult to read.

Answer 1

As the error message says you have multiple definitions of __vector_7 which is defined in: IRemote.cpp:361 and Tone.cpp:536

Tone.cpp is arduino standart lib. If IRemote is a lib of yours then you should edit the cpp file and change the symbol to sth else.

Answer 2

The IRemote.cpp and Tone.cpp would be using the same interrupt vector. I believe it's ISR(TIMER5_COMPA_vect) {

• You could. I don't think it's the best solution, but go to Tone.cpp and comment the ISR(TIMER5_COMPA_vect) { like /*ISR(TIMER5_COMPA_vect)*/void XunusedX(void) {. And be sure to never use any function from ...

• You could also try to find a way on how not to invoke Tone.h with core.a. include <Tone.h> could be replaced with //include <Tone.h>

• You could use another timer in IRRemote.h
