Hi, I was trying out scanlines but my KISS IDE doesn't seem to like to compile them. When I try this code:

depth_open();
while (b_button()==0)
{
     depth_update();
     get_depth_scanline_update(50);
     printf("%d\n", get_scanline_object_count(50));
     msleep(100);
}
depth_close();

It won't compile. I tried changing the target from My Computer to Similator to the actual LINK itself, and none of them worked. Here are the errors I got:

From what I understand it's thinking I'm using functions that weren't previously defined (as if I used something like qwerty()), but I know those functions exist because they're in the library and the documentation.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

have you maybe forgot to update your Link?
If not, try to add #include at the beginning of you file.

I'm not sure, but I don't think get_scanline_object_count() has any arguments. I believe it uses the line you used in get_depth_scanline_update(50);

Try removing the argument from get_scanline_object_count()

Also, make sure you have KISS IDE 5.1.2

Thanks everyone for your responses, but:

1. I have the newest update
2. It does have arguments, according to the documentation, at least. It needs a row. Also it's both of the arguments, I tried isolating each one and they both had errors.
3. I have the current software

The correct functions are:

int depth_scanline_update(int row);
int get_depth_scanline_object_count();

It looks like this is incorrect in the "KIPR/KISS Documentation" - thanks for pointing that out. Everything should be correct in "libkovan Documentation"

Thanks, you guys should probably fix that.

As a general rule, the libkovan source code on GitHub is preferable to checking KIPR's documentation, because in my experience KIPR sometimes forgets to update documentation. Of course, this advice only works for users who can read the libkovan source... but I think Andrew is sufficiently good at programming to do that.

You don't even have to look through the libkovan source code. KISS Platform comes with full documentation of libkovan, accessible through "Help -> Documentation -> libkovan Documentation." This is updated every time libkovan is built, so outdated info is not a concern.
