      I'm trying to make an Arduino library for GY521. Created .cpp and .h files and also completed the code. But I'm getting an error while calling library function via main code.

      look my code below or via project repo

      Accelometer:10:7: error: request for member 'getAcData' in 'goo', which is of non-class type 'Gy521()'
         goo.getAcData();
             ^~~~~~~~~
      Accelometer:11:7: error: request for member 'getGyData' in 'goo', which is of non-class type 'Gy521()'
         goo.getGyData();
      

      Accelometer.ino (main code):

      //#include <Wire.h>
      #include "Gy521.h"
      
      Gy521 goo();
      
      void setup(){
        Serial.begin(9600);
      }
      void loop(){
        goo.getAcData();
        goo.getGyData();
      }
      

      Gy521.cpp

      #include "Gy521.h"
      #include "Arduino.h"
      #include <Wire.h>
      
      Gy521::Gy521()
      {
        Wire.begin();
        Wire.beginTransmission(_MPU);
        Wire.write(0x6B); 
        Wire.write(0);    
        Wire.endTransmission(true);
      }
      
      void Gy521::getAcData(){
        Wire.beginTransmission(_MPU);
        Wire.write(0x3B);  
        Wire.endTransmission(false);
        Wire.requestFrom(_MPU,6,true);  
        AcX=Wire.read()<<8|Wire.read();    
        AcY=Wire.read()<<8|Wire.read();  
        AcZ=Wire.read()<<8|Wire.read();   
       
        Serial.print("Accelerometer: ");
        Serial.print("X = "); Serial.print(AcX);
        Serial.print(" | Y = "); Serial.print(AcY);
        Serial.print(" | Z = "); Serial.println(AcZ);  
      }
      void Gy521::getGyData(){
        Wire.beginTransmission(_MPU);
        Wire.write(0x43);  
        Wire.endTransmission(false);
        Wire.requestFrom(_MPU,6,true);  
         
        GyX=Wire.read()<<8|Wire.read();  
        GyY=Wire.read()<<8|Wire.read();  
        GyZ=Wire.read()<<8|Wire.read();
        
        Serial.print("Gyroscope: ");
        Serial.print("X = "); Serial.print(GyX);
        Serial.print(" | Y = "); Serial.print(GyY);
        Serial.print(" | Z = "); Serial.println(GyZ);
        Serial.println(" ");
        delay(100);
      }
      
      

      Gy521.h

      #ifndef Gy521_h
      #define Gy521_h
      
      #include "Arduino.h"
      class Gy521
      {
        public:
          Gy521();
          void getAcData();
          void getGyData();
          int16_t GyX,GyY,GyZ;
          int16_t AcX,AcY,AcZ;
              
        private:
          const int _MPU = 0x68;
      };
      
      
      
      #endif
      

      :- This is my first try to make an Arduino Library 🙂

        When you want to create an object of a class and it doesn't take in any parameters, then

        Gy521 goo;  //object declaration
        

        is enough. Then invoke the initialization function,

        goo.begin();  //initialization
        

        For that, you need to create an initialization function. You can copy the statements in your constructor there.

          @vishnumaiea Thank you. I made the changes, it worked well.
          Next, I want to return 3 variables in getAcData() function. Is there any way to do this ? Can i access AcX,AcY,AcZ globally via main code.

            @rafitc99 The member variables of a class can not be accessed without an accompanying object; that's the concept of a class. If you want to return three values, simply update the member variables AcX, Ac and AcZ, and access them as,

            Serial.println(goo.AcX);
            Serial.println(goo.AcY);
            Serial.println(goo.AcZ);

              @vishnumaiea

              Serial.println(goo.AcX);
              Serial.println(goo.AcY);
              Serial.println(goo.AcZ);
              

              while using above code, I'm getting '0'. not updating,

                  @saheen_palayi Nop, while calling goo.AcX getting zero as output. not getting updated value.

                    @rafitc99 I dont think u can access those like that did you tried those lines after

                     goo.getAcData();
                     goo.getGyData();

                        • Hi @Vipin-I-V ,

                          This seems to be an interesting project.

                          Please share the development here...

                          I was thinking of something similar, but not for gaming. Won't it be cool to have the Ctrl, Cmd & Alt keys as pedals? Please share your thoughts & insights.

                        • @mkgrmabhinand Hi, It Looks like you didn't install the NodeJS on your computer, or didn't add the PATH correctly in the environment variables.

                          Could you confirm that you installed the Node JS in your computer from the .exe or .msi installation files?

                          If not and if you want to run Node-RED, you need to install recommended NodeJS version 14.x and you can download the version here .
