Problem to load phidget21Matlab.h

[gfalco]

Hello,

First, sorry for my very bad English.

I'm a teacher of mechanical engineering at the high school.
I want to pilot a robot commanded by Phidgets cards through matlab/simulink.

When I try to use examples from the Phidgets internet site, the following problem occurs :

Error loading library intermediate output follows.
The actual error is at the end of this output.
*********

Failed to parse type '...' original input ' ...'
Found on line 702 of input from line 701 of file C:\\Program Files\\Phidgets\\phidget21Matlab.h

I use matlab 2011 on a seven64.

Thanks a lot in adavance for your help

I bought a significant number of modules and components.
All work via the interface Phidgets.
In Matlab R2011b, it does not work, there are errors in the phidget21Matlab library.
It is a problem due to the library or it is a problem of method of installation.
I read the Getting_Started_MATLAB.pdf, I made what I understood, but my level of computing is novice, my level of English, hardly higher, like a lot of French...
Is there somebody who could give me the proper and complete method to follow:
1:
2:
3:
...
In this way, I could verify if I make errors.
Thank you.

Did you install the Phidgets 21 drivers?

http://www.phidgets.com/drivers.php

All I had to do to get it to work was install those drivers and then get phidget21Matlab.h from the sample code Matlab zip file at:

http://www.phidgets.com/programming_resources.php

Looks like you have the sample code at phidget21Matlab.h already, I'd check to see if the drivers for Phidgets 21 installed correctly.

It looks like Matlab doesn't like the '...' argument of CPhidget_log - you can just delete this line from the phidget21Matlab.h file. I'm not sure why the error is coming up as it's never been an issue before.

Thanks a lot,

I just remove the '...' and it seems to run. (With some "warning")

I will make tests this week.

I have the exact same problem as the user galileo. I am trying to run one of the example files but there are problems with the .h-file. I removed the problematic lines 701 and 702 from the phidget21Matlab.h file but and ran the servo.m file. But then Matlab says "Could not open servo"

I use Matlab R2011b on a 64-bit Win7. I have Visual Studio installed and use this compiler. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 in c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 .
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

To get our MATLAB examples to work under 64 bit Windows, you will need to add the following couple of lines to the very beginning of the phidget21Matlab.h file.

#ifndef WIN32
#define __stdcall
#endif
