exit status 1 error compiling for board arduino/Genuino Uno when tone code is used

Question

I am just trying to use an ultrasonic sensor with a buzzer but the buzzer doesn't respond to my code. I mean it doesn't make any sound. I tested it to check if by sending 5 volts to it, it will make a sound.. and it did... but using this code below... for some reason, it doesn't make any sound....

#include <NewPing.h>
#define TRIGGER_PIN 11
#define ECHO_PIN 12
#define buzzer 13
NewPing sonar1 (TRIGGER_PIN, ECHO_PIN);
long inches1;
int sound = 250;
void setup (){
 Serial.begin (9600);
 pinMode (TRIGGER_PIN, OUTPUT);
 pinMode (ECHO_PIN, INPUT);
 pinMode (buzzer, OUTPUT);
}
void loop () {
 inches1 = sonar1.ping_in(); 
 if (inches1 <= 5 ){
 // sound = 250;
 tone(buzzer, 1000); // Send 1KHz sound signal...
 delay(1000); // ...for 1 sec
 noTone(buzzer); // Stop sound...
 delay(1000);
 Serial.print (inches1);
 Serial.print ('\n');
 }
 delay (200);
}

• Juraj: don't use tone() if it makes sound with 5 V. only set pin HIGH
• Glenn Macion: hhhmmmm..... i see... i will try.. thanks for your answer... :)
• jsotola: what exit code are you talking about?
• Dougie: What's the whole message the Arduino IDE gives you. Exit 1 usually means you've got a missing library or a syntax error in your code.

Answer 1

If you have a look at the complete error message you will see that there is a collision between the libraries NewPing and Tone.

Arduino: 1.8.9 (Windows Store 1.8.21.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
Tone.cpp.o (symbol from plugin): In function `timer0_pin_port':
(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__vector_7'

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
exit status 1

• Juraj: yes, but the point is that they don't have to use tone()
• MatsK: I agree! But the question is "error" and perhaps someone take in the information that libraries can have conflicts, I have seen it to many times.
