The registers are are all UPPER CASE, and will be of names like PORTx, where x is the 8-bit wide port, A, B, C, D etc, like PIND too. Individual pins will be PINxn, where N is a pin number from 0 to 7, so PIND3. I can't see any of those in the error messages, but it is useful to know how the naming conventions work. The two arrays port_to_output_PGM and port_to_input_PGM are being used to convert Arduino pin numbers to the actual underlying hardware pin numbers, and comes from <a href="https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/pins_arduino.c" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/pins_arduino.c</a> You may want to try to deal with this area of code by using the 'Arduino Language' pinMode, digitalRead and digitalWrite functions, and avoid getting into the microcontroller specific details of hardware I/O ports at first. The Maple may be quick enough that you can get the program working without any of that. This proposal has the downside that you will have to understand how the code works, but that may be necessary anyway. The details of the hardware I/O ports, and the peripherals is the biggest area of difference between microcontroller families (i.e. between manufacturers and their products) so minimising the amount of that code you have to port may help get something up and working sooner.

Some are defined differently in maple, others arent defined at all.

This is important for the Arduinos since they have little RAM. The Maple has 20KB of RAM, much more than the Arduino, so you could try for now just to remove the PROGMEM directive, which would make it a regular variable. I am not sure if there is an equivalent statement. Here's a little more info (although no solution): <a href="http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17695" rel="nofollow">http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17695</a> <a href="http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/PROGMEM" rel="nofollow">http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/PROGMEM</a> I would just leave out the PROGMEM for now and continue that way. Keep in mind that every place where "BigFont" is accessed, you probably also need to change some code, since reading from FLASH is a different command than accessing from RAM (pgm_read_byte etc.). You can also look at the display code for the STM32 that I mentioned in my other post yesterday: <a href="http://iteadstudio.com/application-note/itdb02-display-lib-for-stm32-gcc/" rel="nofollow">http://iteadstudio.com/application-note/itdb02-display-lib-for-stm32-gcc/</a> And there you see how they have SmallFont and BigFont defined for the STM32 processor. yokurk on "help with code" http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=604#post-3328 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 09:18:12 +0000 yokurk 3328@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ i understand that PROGMEM is defined within the <avr/pgmspace.h> library. but i cannot compile this library in Maple too. yokurk on "help with code" http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=604#post-3327 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 09:16:20 +0000 yokurk 3327@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ one of the codes in arduino uses the definition of characters as for eg: unsigned char BigFont[32*95] PROGMEM={ 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00, // <Space>} when i try to compile the same code using Maple IDE it shows this error C:\Users\userer\Desktop\maple-ide-0.0.6\libraries\ITDB02_Graph\BigFont.c:8: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'PROGMEM' i am new to Maple.the same code worked with arduino... please help
