I was doing the temperature project and I ran the code there were bugs but i got as many as I could out. There are still a couple and i am having trouble figuring out what they mean:

    make -C ../libnerdkits
    make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
    avr-gcc -g -Os -Wall -mmcu=atmega168  -Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_flt -Wl,-u,vfscanf -lscanf_flt -lm -o              
     tempsensor.o tempsensor.c ../libnerdkits/delay.o ../libnerdkits/lcd.o ../libnerdkits/uart.o
      tempsensor.c: In function 'main':
       tempsensor.c:71: warning: implicit declaration of function 'lcd_unit'
       tempsensor.c:103: warning: implicit declaration of function 'lcd_write_init16'
        /var/folders/jQ/jQWh7bOj2RyQ3k+8ZONKx++++TI/-Tmp-//ccn77Z2P.o: In function `main':
       /Users/benjaminhall/Desktop/NerdKit Folder/Code/tempsensor_edu/tempsensor.c:71: undefined reference to

      /Users/benjaminhall/Desktop/NerdKit Folder/Code/tempsensor_edu/tempsensor.c:103: undefined reference          
        to `lcd_write_init16'
      make: *** [tempsensor.hex] Error 1

What does implicit declaration mean? What does undefined reference mean?

all the errors seem to be either one of the two.......

Hi codenamejupiterx

I came across one of these errors for the first time the other day. "implicit declaration of function" I had this error when I forgot to put an open bracket when declaring a new function. In your case I suspect you are missing the following line

int main() {

Or you have left the { off. It could easily be something else its hard to tell without your full code. Could you please post all your code?

regards

Carl

Thanks for responding Carl. My code is posted below:

}

You wrote lcd_unit instead of lcd_init, and lcd_write_init16 instead of lcd_write_int16.

Thank You bretm!!!!!! I corrected the codeand loaded it onto the chip and my temperature sensor is working perfectly!!!!! Again Thanks!!!!
