No matching function for call to'DS3231 (const uint8_t &, const uint8_t &)

Question

This was supposed to be the code for automatic pet feeder Got it from here1

The problem is that I always got a "No matching function for call to'DS3231 (const uint8_t &, const uint8_t &)"

Here's the error code

The problem is that I always got a "No matching function for call to'DS3231 (const uint8_t &, const uint8_t &)"

You are using the wrong DS3231 library. Unfortunately, you can often find incompatible libraries that share the same name. The sketch you downloaded has been written for a specific version of the DS3231 library. Thus your choices are:

• either you use that specific version (linked to in the page you gave as reference)
• or you adapt the code to work with the version you have installed.
