C3 not declared in this scope when running MIDI example code

Question

I'm trying to run the MIDI example from Arduino.CC in Arduino Studio.

I am using an Arduino Leonardo, which has USB HID capabilities. I have installed the library as mentioned:

MIDI Library installed

When I press the compile or upload button, it says:

'D3' was not declared in this scope

What's wrong? How do I fix this?

• jsotola: the error happens when the source code is being compiled .... the upload is not attempted ... upload only happens when the code compiles without errors

Answer 1

The pitches for the notes are taken from pitchToNote.h. In there you can see definitions for the notes like:

#define pitchC3 48

It seems that the names were changed from C3 to pitchC3.

I am not 100% sure, but my guess is that this was done to avoid conflicts between the note A3 and the analog input A3 (and silimar).

So, in line 25 of the example code, add pitch for all notes:

const byte notePitches[NUM_BUTTONS] = {pitchC3, pitchD3, pitchE3, pitchF3, pitchG3, pitchA3, pitchB3};
