Dust sensor code with a few errors

Question

I'm fairly new to this and I'm having trouble with a code for a dust sensor. Getting a couple of errors. I downloaded this code from GitHub. Anyone have any idea how to fix any of these errors? Any help is appreciated. Sorry if this formatted wrong, this is also my first post. Thanks for your time

#include "SDS011.h"
#include<SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial myserial(0, 1);
SDS011(byte pin_rx, byte pin_tx) 
float p10,p25;
int error;
SDS011 my_sds;
void setup() {
 my_sds.begin(0, 1);
 Serial.begin(9600);
 while (!Serial) {
 ;
 }
}
void loop() {
 error = my_sds.read(&p25,&p10);
 if (! error) {
 Serial.println("P2.5: "+String(p25));
 Serial.println("P10: "+String(p10));
 }
delay(100);
}

here are the errors I'm getting

code:10: error: expected ')' before 'pin_rx'
 SDS011(byte pin_rx, byte pin_tx)

C:\Users\Nick\Desktop\code\code.ino: In function 'void loop()':

Answer 1

You have to use the begin command. Instead of:

SDS011(byte pin_rx, byte pin_tx) 
...
SDS011 my_sds;

Use

SDS011 my_sds;

(Thus remove the first line: SDS011(byte pin_rx, byte pin_tx)).

And in setup add:

my_sds.begin(0, 1);

This follows the library function of SDS011:

void begin(uint8_t pin_rx, uint8_t pin_tx);

Other errors: because you forgot the ; in

SDS011(byte pin_rx, byte pin_tx) 

the next line:

float p10,p25;

is misinterpreted, and p10 and p25 are not known. Therefore errors are shown while trying to use p10 and p25.

These errors will go when changing the begin code as described earlier.

Answer 2

Your code should be like below; there are multiple syntax and semantic errors in the code you have posted;

Below is the edited and working code;

#include <SDS011.h>
float p10,p25;
int error;
SDS011 my_sds;
void setup() {
 my_sds.begin(0, 1);
 Serial.begin(9600);
 while (!Serial) {
 ;
 }
}
void loop() {
 error = my_sds.read(&p25,&p10);
 if (! error) {
 Serial.println("P2.5: "+String(p25));
 Serial.println("P10: "+String(p10));
 }
 delay(100);
}
