I'm doing a project for school using Arduino to make a catapult, but I have this error that I didn't have the previous week.

Can anyone see the program and search where is the error?

#include <Servo.h> //libreria necesaria para utilizar el Servo

Servo catac; //motor de giro continuo utilizado

int ledPin = 13; //led conectado a agujero 13
int button = 8; //boton conectado a agujero 8
int estado = 0; //varaible que permite saber el estado del boton

void setup()
{
    pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); 
    pinMode(button,INPUT); 
    catac.attach(12); // servo unido al agujero 12
    catac.write(180); //coloca al servo en 180 grados
}

void loop()
{
    estado = digitalRead(button); //la variable obtiene el estado del boton
    if(estado == LOW)
    {
        digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH); //prende led
        catac.write(70); //servo levanta a 70 grados la catapulta
        delay(500);
        digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW); //apaga led
        catac.write(180); //servo coloca a la catapulta en posicion original
    }
}

  • The problem appears to be in your library. What version of Arduino IDE are you using? Are you using the built in Servo library?

  • Is this your full code?

  • My guess is you have some strange unicode character(s) in there. A common problem when not programming in English.

Reset to default

You have bad Unicode characters in your code. All your semicolons are something completely different and need replacing with real semicolons.
