Compile error Adafruit_mfGFX

Getting Started
1

Hi,

I’m experimenting with the Photon and an I2C OLED display. It works beautifully with the ssd1306-128x64-spi.ino example.
Now I want to change the font using the Adafruit_mfGFX libray. Unfortunately I can’t get it to compile.
I get the following error:

/src/Adafruit_mfGFX.cpp: In member function 'void Adafruit_GFX::drawChar(int16_t, int16_t, unsigned char, uint16_t, uint16_t, uint8_t)':
/src/Adafruit_mfGFX.cpp:486:7: warning: 'line' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
       if (line & 0x80) {

I get the error when using the community library and when I use github and add them as .h and .cpp.

Can someone help me on my way to get this working?
Thanks,
Jacco

This is only a warning that doesn't prevent your build.

Try to post the error message instead :wink:

The entire error message is:

You seem to have both Adafruit_GFX and Adafruit_mfGFX library imported in your project.

Adafruit_SSD1306 brings its own copy of Adafruit_GFX (which is a bad habbit) so you cannot have Adafruit_mfGFX imorted too.

Hi,

Thanks, the moment I pasted the error message I noticed why this error is generated.

But, I only included Adafruit_SSD1306.h and Adafruit_mfGFX as community library.
It looks if Adafruit_SSD1306.h includes Adafruit_GFX. How do I prevent this with a community library?

When I include the code as .cpp and .h, replace Adafruit_GFX with Adafruit_mfGFX than the App compile’s without an error.

Thanks again ScruffR

Hence I said

Ah…right. I’ll read better next time :grinning:
Thanks

Well now it compiles but how do I use it? I’m definitely a beginner :wink:
When I use setfont I get error:

Hmmm…I really should read better :unamused: It is setFont and not setfont!
