      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();

                        • @milanvarghese No, the battery comes into the play only if there is no power from the solar cell. It's like inverters in our home. They activate only if main power is gone, rest of the time they keep charging. similarly here the direct power will be coming from the solar cell, only if the solar cell can't produce enough voltage battery comes into the loop and starts providing voltage to our circuit.

                          @kowshik1729 I have seen this, but doesnt it damage that battery? dischargeing and charging at the same time?

                        • @milanvarghese Basically you have cited the solution to your question. yes, you can run the Arduino microcontroller from a solar panel with some protection circuitry in between. There are many tutorials and blogs out there. You can start with something as following.

                          Hello I am working on a project using nodemcu.

                          In my home for years every day, someone has to walk up to the terrace of the house to check the water level and then turn the motor on/off.

                          I am planning to read the water levels in the tank using an ultrasonic sensor and push data into the cloud so that we don't need to go to the terrace to check the water level.

                          I would like my nodemcu module to run infinitely all the time using solar power. I have an old solar panel at home which is left unused and was used to charge a solar lamp. What other things do I need to implement this project? what battery should I use?

                          How do I implement this project?

                        • @Mennyt The general right angled header pins are the cheapest option. Something like this https://robu.in/product/2-54mm-2x20-right-angle-male-header-strip-pack-of-2/?gclid=CjwKCAiA4o79BRBvEiwAjteoYDcmnOSwTUviMZzRBeHz_aENF_fQgj3BrKXAzYs6GIHknHSOJ4_2KhoC1fAQAvD_BwE
