hey guys

i downloaded the driver suite and i was going to set it up
but in my ROBOTC directory tab there isn't a user include path option to link my
3rd party driver folder

was it moved in ROBOTC version 3.5(i downloaded the update today)

Yes, I'm having the same problem. I was able to install under RobotC 3.52, but I just updated to 3.54 and under "Detailed Preferences", "Directories", there's no longer a window to specify "Directory for user 'include' files for platform 'NXT'.

In fact there are only 4 windows on that preferences page, instead of the 7 depicted in Xander's Driver Suite Tutorial. Is there a way to migrate back to 3.52?

I was surprised by this change as well. Xander's blog says that RobotC 3.54 now has version 3.1 of his drivers already installed...?

I got it to work by changing the first window "Directory for Source Files" to the "rdpartyrobotcdr-3.1" folder.

thank you so much
it works

You need to click "Window->Menu Level->Expert/Super User". Every update resets this preference. This should bring back your missing tabs.

They've moved some of the preference settings to new menu locations.

Look under View, Preferences, Detailed Preferences, Compiler, and then on the Include Directories tab

you now have that in addition to the directories set under View, Preferences, Detailed Preferences, General

I need to update the tutorial, but bugs in my driver suite (and ROBOTC) have diverted my scantest resource, my spare time, from doing this.

We're a new team and this is our first time trying to use a 3rd party sensor so I'm sorry if this we're overlooking something very basic.

We're using RobotC version 3.54 and driver suite 3.1.

I'm trying to include hitechnic-irseeker-v2.h
This is the path I'm using: C:\Documents and Settings\Robotics\Desktop\RingItUpPrograms\rdpartyrobotcdr-3.1\

I've tried adding the directory under:
Detailed Preferences>Compiler>Include Directories>Directory for user include files
Detailed Preferences>Compiler>Include Directories>Directory for user include files for platform 'Tetrix'
Detailed Preferences>General>Directories>Directory for source files
Detailed Preferences>General>Files>System Include Header File

All of them give me this error: No filename for '#include' directive

Any help would be appreciated.

Would you show us the syntax of your #include lines? Did you enclose your include paths in double quotes (")?

Here's the syntax I'm using: #include hitechnic-irseeker-v2.h

I've not enclosed the paths in double quotes. I'll try that and let you know if it works.

Yes, you need to do this:

No luck :(

Now I'm getting this error: "Couldn't open '#include' file 'hitechnic-irseeker-v2.h'"

Ok, this means you did not set the correct path in the "Preferences->Compiler->Directories". In any case, where exactly is the hitechnic-irseeker-v2.h file relative to your program code? An alternative is to specify the path in the include statement. For example, our code is in desktop\ftc\2013\code\RingItUp and Xander's driver is in desktop\ftc\2013\code\RobotCDrivers\drivers. Then our include line would be something like this:

Xander's driver is in: C:\Documents and Settings\Robotics\Desktop\RingItUpPrograms\Drivers\rdpartyrobotcdr-3.1\
The code is: C:\Documents and Settings\Robotics\Desktop\RingItUpPrograms\Mis\IRSeekerTest

I tried including the driver using this syntax:
#include "C:\Documents and Settings\Robotics\Desktop\RingItUpPrograms\Drivers\hitechnic-irseeker-v2.h"

And I'm getting this error:
Couldn't open '#include' file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Robotics\Desktop\RingItUpPrograms\Drivers\rdpartyrobotcdr-3.1\'
