It compiles with no errors then I get an error that says can't find the file specified. I have checked and it looks like all the files are there and the Com port is right. The programs is your Tempsensor with some code at the bottom and a few changes to the LCD print out. I can paste it too if you need. I can also link the a copy of the dos screen if you need.

Here is a copy of me Makefile.

Are in Red. Does this mean there is an error in these lines?

I have uploaded a few programs to the MCU without any trouble but I suspect I might have a bad USB on my comnputer because it doesn't always recognize my mp3 player.

Hi Jalex,

Please post the full error you get on the command line. It will help us narrow down what the problem might be.

Hi [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/rjjgb6.jpg[/IMG]

Below is the Code. You will still recognize it as it's your Tempsensor code. At the bottom I added the pin selecting. I have comparitors that output a narrow pulse when an RC is charged and I want to count the time the pulse is high and print the number. The temp sensor is unchanged.

Hi Jalex,

The problem here is that the port you are using should read "COM4" not "usb4" (the number will change depending on where you plug it in or how many devices you have plugged in). Did you go through the NerdKits Guide and complete the projects there? If not I definitely recommend that you do.

Humberto

Thanks Humberto That was a dumb mistake. LOL I wrote USB3 instead of COM3 I did have a usb port problem on my other computer though and I guess that confused me. It works now. thank you for the help. Jim

Hi Again I do have one more question though. My display reads 000perature: 73.27 What is causing that? It works fine and icreases when I touch it like it should. Thanks Again.

Hi Jalex,

If your strings are running into each other it probably means you are overflowing one of the lines. Remember the lines of the LCD wrap around each other.

Humberto

Hi Humberto Ok Thanks I found that one, it was overwriting the beginning of the same line. Now I have another one. My counters only displayed 0's. I changed my uint16_t to Double and now they seem to work but is that right? Where did you say I could find a good c tutorial for the AVR?
