Sodaq Sara AFF Universal Tracker fails to compile

1

I am trying to compile the sketch here

for use with the Sodaq SARA AFF with ublox sara-410M

I seem to be missing a lot of #defines and I would like to know where to find them please. But obvs, the sketch as provided does not work

First compilation errors are for …

LED_RED
LED_GREEN
LED_BLUE

then

BAT_VOLT

I am not sure what else is missing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I see from https://support.sodaq.com/Boards/Sara_SFF/ potentially useful info … do I take it that

#define LED_RED 17 would be correct from this?

Incidentally, the very first compilation error you get is …

#error "No network type defined"

because (I assume) you need to define this for the SARA_AFF. Right? This line is missing and needs to be inserted.

#define ARDUINO_SODAQ_SARA

Frustrating, really!

Ok, after putting in what I think are the right #defines, it compiles but I see …

** SODAQ - Universal Tracker - 1.0.3 **

So it seems like a lot of stuff is missing … for example all the Cellular settings, IMEI etc …

Not quite sure what the GPS Not Found message means?

Any ideas?

Hi @patmolloy,

It seems like you didn’t install the sodaq boards?
https://support.sodaq.com/getting_started/

Please select the SODAQ SARA board as your board under tools, it will compile without any errors.

Best regards,
Jan

I did have boards installed and selected.

I’ve just started from scratch with a clean Arduino install and have now compiled …

Thanks!

Just a case of getting a network connection now …
