I created a new project and got the following error:
Quote:


I've installed visulamicro just two weeks ago and my first sketch created was compiled successfully, but a new one created today failed. That is a reason?

Did you resolve this?

I've also been using VM (VS2008 version) for a while and after cleaning up some folders I get this on both my projects.

EDIT: Sorry VM, I didn't notice your response. I started with totally clean folders, just my source files, but I'll have another look.

OK, stop looking, I think I sussed it.

I was developing a library and had what will be the library source file in the same folder with the test sketch but with the name "genieArduinoLib.cpp". 

I renamed the "lib" file from genieArduinoLib.cpp to genieArduino.cpp thinking it would be nice to have all the files the same name, at the same time I cleaned up and renamed a few folders and so assumed that was at the root of my problem.

But I think what happens is that the Arduino toolchain renames x.ino to x.cpp at some point during the "compile", now you have two files with the same name and who knows what havoc that causes. Presumably what I saw above.

I changed it back to genieArduinoLib.cpp and it works.

So I've posted this for future reference.

Removing the "." from the file name worked for me. I had a filename "Motionv2.0". I left the project name as Motionv2.0, but just did a Save As... to Motionv2p0, and it compiled and uploaded properly (as first reply in the thread suggested).

happy arduinoing!

Same Error for me
