I’m trying to build a project, but failed. I searched the problem, but no avalibable solution. The code is cloned from others.

using namespace vex;

extern brain Brain;

// VEXcode devices

/**
 * Used to initialize code/tasks/devices added using tools in VEXcode Pro.
 * 
 * This should be called at the start of your int main function.
 */
void  vexcodeInit( void );

Here comes the info:

I think it means you have accidentally defined your brain twice, is the code in your original post the entire code?

#3

Yeah, the brain gets declared automatically, no need to add that yourself.

that is all the code in vex.h. there’s no “brain” in main.cpp except “brain.timer();”. is it caused by “extern brain Brain”?

#5

No, its because you have Brain declared again in robot-config.cpp on like 8
