Updating a sketch to work with IDE 1.6.6

Question

I've got a MAX7456 chip and I am using this (this is the unmodified one) library with it. There's a sketch inside the examples folder (Max7456WriteTable) that I need to get to work to update the character table.

I modified three lines and then I got really stuck as I do not know how to continue. This is the modified one.

In file included from Max7456Write.ino:2:0:
/tmp/build4608284042510222737.tmp/sketch/Max7456WriteTable.h:29:69153: warning: narrowing conversion of '243' from 'int' to 'const char' inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Wnarrowing]

This happens for every item in the array. But that is not the only problem. (I'll skip a few hundred lines)

/tmp/build8855411239666100148.tmp/sketch/Max7456Write.cpp.o: In function `setup':

/home/t/Max7456Write.ino:46: undefined reference to `Max7456::sendCharacter(unsigned char const*, unsigned char, unsigned char)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error compiling.

It takes a huge amount of time for it to abort the compilation.

Answer 1

If I change prog_uchar to unsigned char in both max7456.h and max7456.cpp the hello world example sketch compiles.

In Max7456WriteTable change

Max7456::getCARACFromProgMem(i,currentChar); //Because the table is too big for ram memory

osd->sendCharacter(currentChar,i); //We send currentChar at address i.

to

Max7456::getCARACFromProgMem(tableOfAllCharacters, i,currentChar); //Because the table is too big for ram memory

osd->sendCharacter(currentChar,i, 0); //We send currentChar at address i.

0 is probably the wrong value, but at least it compiles.
