arduino due-sdi 12 error

[samarth003]

Hi,
I am using arduino-1.5.7 and trying to work with decagon sensors using serial event example code with some modifications to suit my project.
The library works great with arduino uno but with arduino due, it gives me the following error message:

I am a newbie to the arduino board. Please help me in the regard.

Thanks!

Hi @samarth003, can you try to use an example from the SoftwareSerial library on your DUE board and let me know if it will compile for you? (Both libraries use the statements that appear in the errors.)

[samarth003]

Hi @Kevin-M-Smith,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I tried importing SoftwareSerial library and used its example on the DUE board.
It gives me the following error:

checking the SoftwareSerial.h, it is configured for 8,16 and 20MHz processors, so i guess it is not compatible with DUE's ARM processor.
Any workaround for this?
Is the Arduino-SDI12 lib also made to work with 8,16 and 20 MHz processors?

Thanks!

I'm not worried about the speed of the ARM chip, but the errors later on (e.g. digitalPinToPCICR not defined) are pretty serious. The library is set up to respond to incoming signals from the sensors by detecting a change of state on the input pin (pin change interrupt / PCINT). It does not appear that the ARM chip uses the same code bindings for creating PCINTs. I will send a note to the Arduino developers mailing list to see if there is a remedy. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks @Kevin-M-Smith,
Do let me know where we can go with this.

[Kevin-M-Smith]

Hi @samarth003, my email finally got through the approval process to go out to the developers list.

The responses will come back here: https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!topic/developers/4nFR-zx8kZA.

I'll try to monitor the thread to see if anything helpful comes through - but you may also want to track it.

Regards,
Kevin

Hello,
I have the same error with Arduino DUE. I don't understand the solution that you propose.

here is the error message:

Erreur lors de la compilation.

I would be grateful for your help

[Kevin-M-Smith]

@tchkikouna, at the time there is no solution to this problem.

The library does not currently support the ARM CPU architecture.

The following boards should work:
* Arduino Uno (and other ATmega328 boards, like Arduino Duemilanove)
* Arduino Mega (and other ATmega2560 boards)

@steve-2 , did I miss any other compatible boards that you know of?
