[array] was not declared in this scope compile error

I’m getting a compile error [array name] was not declared in this scope.
I’m not understanding the error since the arrays irLeds and irRecs were declared in the global scope. Perhaps it’s a c++ syntax issue I’m not aware of coming from a different background.

No, the arrays the error messages complain about are not declared.
C/C++ is case sensitive.
