I have been attempting to compile an example of SerialTranfer code from RS485 serial communication, passing multiple values - #2 by gcjr - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum included below. I have tried to compile both the RX and TX code twice and get library errors starting with Wire.h. The compile attempt (printout included below) is clean with only the SerialTransfer library installed that I am very interested in trying.
/* Comments and source code from Example TX Arduino Sketch:
RS485 serial communication, passing multiple values - #3 by Power_Broker - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum
The author Power_Broker said (May '2020): “You can use SerialTransfer.h to automatically packetize and parse your data for inter-Arduino communication without the headache.” Here are the library’s features: works with “software-serial” libraries, is non blocking, uses packet delimiters, uses consistent overhead byte stuffing, uses CRC-8 (Polynomial 0x9B with lookup table), allows the use of dynamically sized packets (packets can have payload lengths anywhere from 1 to 254 bytes), can transfer bytes, ints, floats, and even structs!!.
Included below is the Example TX Arduino Sketch:
#include <Arduino.h>
#include "SerialTransfer.h"
SerialTransfer myTransfer;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial1.begin(115200);
myTransfer.begin(Serial1);
}
void loop()
{
char buff[] = "hi";
myTransfer.txObj(buff, sizeof(buff));
myTransfer.sendData(sizeof(buff));
delay(100);
}
During the several attempts to compile the SerialTransfer code examples with PlatformIO I get “include” errors, (some of which I can correct), but I cannot resolve the “Wire.h” error (which I am listing below). I am using PlatformIO (Core 5.1.1·Home 3.3.4) and of Visual Studio Code (July 2021 (version 1.59)). I have used the Library Manager to install the SerialTransfer library before this compile attempt.
Earlier I tried to compile both of these RX and TX programs two times before this. I feel the one thing that complicates my attempts is that two or three different Wire.h (different text) on my hard drive. Some are 23KB, some are 3KB, and some are 6KB.
Here are a few Wire.h listings and sizes. *************
C:\Users\keith\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.7.4\libraries\Wire\Wire.h 3KB (Starts with TwoWire.h)
C:\Users\keith\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\megaavr\1.8.7\libraries\Wire\src\Wire.h 3KB (Starts with TwoWire.h)

KFK Surely the resolution of this error may be simple. Please help me if you understand the answer to my situation. KFK
