How would I use includes?
I have a file name called “drivePID.cpp” and I included it within the main file
your motor definitions are unknown to the drivePID file as well as all of the vex-defined units, so you need to include ‘vex.h’ and ‘robot-config.h’
That seemed to have stopped most of the errors, but I seem to get this error still:
It looks like you have identical variables in your main and pid files. Do you have another pid function in your main file that’s double defining variables?
I am quite unsure and cannot find anything within the project file:

Sorry, I forgot to mention to remove the include ‘drivePID.cpp’
to use the functions from the file you need to make the declaration that the functions exist elsewhere like so before using it: int drivePID();
Also, to use variables between files you need to tell the file to look for the variable elsewhere. This can be done in any of the header files that are included but I put it in robot-config.h since I was too lazy to make a new file. If you want to see how I did it you can look there. (It’s just extern type var;)
I had to play around with your code a bit to figure out what was wrong and I ended up inadvertently fixing it, here is what I had:

Thank you so much! Very appreciated, I’m trying to work on a tutorial on files and this is kinda my first time using them 
In general, you shouldn’t #include .cpp files. Instead, you should declare prototypes for functions and objects you need in a .h file, and include that .h file.
