I've been racking my head trying to start programming in a library organized method. My code works, but the translation and split to a .h and .cpp file is riddled with errors.

It's gotta be stupidly simple all I'm asking for is a review:

Header File

# ifndef _INITIALIZE_H
#define _INITIALIZE_H

#if (ARDUINO >= 100)
# include <Arduino.h>
#else
# include <WProgram.h>
#endif

//-Extra Includes-
#include <config.h> //Provides baud...
#include <SSC32.h>

#define STANDARD 0
#define DEBUG    1
#define VIRTUAL  2

class Initialize {
    private:
        int _mode;
    public:
        Initialize();
        void begin();

};

#endif

associated .cpp file:

//Comments
#include <Initialize.h>
SSC32 SSC;

Initialize::Initialize() 
{
    _mode = STANDARD;
}

void Initialize::begin() 
{
    SSC.begin(baud);
    if(Serial.available() > 0){
        if(sscReturn == 1){
            Serial.println("ver");
        }
    }
}

The error from the compiler:

D:\Github\Project-Onyx-Quadruped\code\HostControllerFirmware\Onyx-HostFirmware-Initial-7-2-15\libraries\Initialize\Initialize.cpp: In member function 'void Initialize::begin()':

    What is sscReturn? Commented Jul 15, 2015 at 1:15
  • Where is sscReturn declared? This seems to be the (main) cause of the compiler errors. Commented Sep 21, 2015 at 23:45

Sorry, figured it out.

In the "config.h" file I was pulling, I had a #define = 18;

instead of a #define 18

I might be wrong, but the compiler stopped complaining

    What are you defining as 18? Commented Jul 15, 2015 at 8:23

    @user you cannot just type #define 18, it should be something like #define xyz 18. This means that from now on in your code xyz will be replaced by 18 (arduino.cc/en/Reference/Define) Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 5:14

    I might be wrong - You are wrong. The line #define 18 doesn't compile: error: macro names must be identifiers. This is not a helpful answer. I'm going to vote to close the question and the answer. Commented Sep 13, 2015 at 5:42
