It took me a while but I finally got around to my Chibi boards again. I had placed everything from the src/ directory into my libraries/chibi directory (and also left the same files still in a src/ directory). So my directory structure essentially had two copies of src/: one copy of all of those files was in libraries/chibi/src/, the other in libraries/chibi/ . I guess the Arduino compiler was confused at finding the source files in two places. Removing the duplicates makes the Chibi examples compile now (and now maybe I can sniff the Itron meters attached to my house, assuming that they say anything via Zigbee yet). So thanks a ton!

I just tested it on a Mac OSX using Arduino 022. I took the most recent zip file from the chibiArduino project page and downloaded it into the ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries directory. I then unzipped it and renamed the folder "chibi". My directory structure currently looks like this: ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/chibi I then closed and re-opened the Arduino 022 IDE so that it can index the new library. After I did that, I opened example #4 and compiled it. I got a clean compile with no errors. In your /Documents/Arduino/libraries/chibi directory, are the actual source files: chibi.cpp, chibi.h, and chibiUsrCfg.h in there? I'm asking this because if you unzipped the chibiArduino zip file into the /libraries/chibi directory, then you'll have another folder underneath the chibi directory which will contain the source files. This may be whats causing the problem. Otherwise, its possible there is a file conflict somewhere. Is it possible to try a clean install of Arduino 022, then installing the chibi library, opening example 4, and then doing a compile? If this is not possible, can you send me a directory listing of the /chibi directory? Thanks. - Akiba Mon, 16 May 2011 13:50:01 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1971 So are there instructions somewhere for installing the Chibi libraries? I'm running OS X and can't get the sample programs to compile. I've made a directory ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/chibi , and placed all of the files that came with the chibi distribution there. When I try to compile the command line example #4 I get: [quote]In file included from /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/Print.h:26, from /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/Stream.h:24, from /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/HardwareSerial.h:27, from /Users/me/Documents/Arduino/libraries/chibi/chb_cmd.c:43: /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/WString.h:28: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'String'[/quote] With a lot more errors to follow. I'm not much of an Arduino library expert. I'm using Arduino 022. Thanks if anyone can help :). - reid Mon, 16 May 2011 13:19:00 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1966 So are there instructions somewhere for installing the Chibi libraries?

I didn't get to play with it much but I'm looking forward to doing so. Once I work out the basics I'll probably have to get a second one so my first one has someone to talk to now that the competition is over. @knife: Red or blue? - Lowlight Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:46:08 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1731 Ah, okay. I made a special batch for those badges. I'm glad you like it and let me know if you have any questions :) - Akiba Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:28:02 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1730 I got one of these boards from a competition I went to today as the badge for indicating which team I am on, and I must say this device is awesome. It was a lot of fun in the game of the competition I went to to be able to use these and send data over the airwaves without much extended effort. - knife Sun, 13 Mar 2011 16:09:43 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1648 It's a fairly low powered radio so I wouldn't recommend it for your project. I should have some products coming out soon that are specially designed for outdoor monitoring. I already have a weatherproof enclosure picked out and need to design the power supply. I'm thinking about whether to add on an amplifier to the front end, but it would decrease the battery life. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs... - Akiba Fri, 04 Feb 2011 08:40:17 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1647 This is pure genius Mr. Akiba! So this is what you've been working on, I remember you having mentioned it [url=http://freaklabs.org/index.php/Forum/Zigbee/2377-just-another-zigbee-project.html]here[/url]. What is the range of the radio? More power to Freakduino-Chibi!!! - Vanessa Fri, 04 Feb 2011 08:24:25 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1635 Ordered ;D - Ante Vukorepa Mon, 24 Jan 2011 00:10:49 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1633 Freakduino's back in stock as of 2011/01/22 - Akiba Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:15:15 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1631 Awesome! :) Thanks! Will check next week. - Ante Vukorepa Fri, 21 Jan 2011 02:56:30 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1630 Ha ha ha...they'll be available on Monday. A large order came through and wiped me out. Gonna make another batch this weekend. Check back then or email me :) - Akiba Thu, 20 Jan 2011 22:07:12 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1629 Nuuuuuuuuuu... Was just about to finally order one enclosure kit and one enclosureless kit after waiting for it to be stocked again and now the enclosures and battery holders are out of stock >: Will they ever be in stock at the same time? :) - Ante Vukorepa Thu, 20 Jan 2011 21:19:47 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1438 Yeah, I'll be stocking the cases as well. I suspect that people will be cutting and sawing on them so they might need extras. Just need to add them into the shop. - Akiba Thu, 18 Nov 2010 07:35:42 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1437 Those cases seam really nice, could you possibly stock the cases alone as well? - stbtrax Thu, 18 Nov 2010 05:12:31 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1434 I havent added the "back in stock notification" module for Zencart which is what I'm using. This is actually the first time I ever thought I needed it :) I'm working on a new batch right now and should be available sometime this week. I source most parts locally so its just a matter of me getting the time to assemble and test boards. I didn't expect that these boards would sell so quickly (thank you make magazine) so my first batch was quite small. I'm going to have to do bigger batches in the future... - Akiba Wed, 17 Nov 2010 09:15:24 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1433 These look AMAZING! Do you know when you'll have them back in stock? Is there any way to sign up to be notified when they are? - Tarek Wed, 17 Nov 2010 09:07:07 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1432 Yeah, those pesky LEDs suck down quite a bit of power. When you're on batteries, every little bit counts :) - Akiba Wed, 17 Nov 2010 08:46:41 +0100 http://www.freaklabs.org/index.php/Blog/Store/Introducing-the-Freakduino-Chibi-An-Arduino-based-Board-For-Wireless-Sensor-Networking.html#comment-1430 "The LED enable DIP switch is used to enable or disable the main power LED and auxiliary LED." Terrific! I actually chipped the tiny power LED off an Arduino Pro Mini to reduce the standby power consumption. :) - Len Wed, 17 Nov 2010 06:10:58 +0100
