MPGuino with Arduino Uno help
 

Hello folks I am really stuck and clueless with this one.

I went to the MPGuino wiki and copied the whole code but when I paste it and try to upload it to my uno I get a long list of errors.

I am truly clueless when it comes to coding. I have no issue with building the hardware.

Is the code listed on the wiki not compatible with the Uno?

If it is I would GLADLY paypal someone to correct it so it will just load on my Arduino.

I have searched all over for some kind of MPGuino for dummies to no avail.

Any help would be super appreciated!

If screenshots of all my errors is helpful I will certainly post them.

Thank you!

Here's the list of errors I get when compiling.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.

Managed to figure it out. Never mind.

So what was the answer?

I was using too new of a version of the Arduino software. I downgraded to an older one and things loaded right up.

which version
 

Which older version did you use and what version of the UNO do you have
