Seeeduino XIAO + RF 433MHz Transmitter/Receiver Module

Products & Technology Arduino & Seeeduino
#1

I am trying to use the Seeeduino XIAO to transmit information to an Arduino UNO.

I am using the provided RadioHead code for the transmitter, but there is an error when I compile.

#include <RH_ASK.h>
#include <SPI.h> // Not actually used but needed to compile

RH_ASK driver;

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(9600);    // Debugging only
    if (!driver.init())
         Serial.println("init failed");
}

void loop()
{
    const char *msg = "Hello World!";
    driver.send((uint8_t *)msg, strlen(msg));
    driver.waitPacketSent();
    delay(1000);
}

The error message details issues with the timer (error around line 200).

Here is the error message, beginning where the error is (link is the entire error message):

Error compiling for board Seeeduino XIAO.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

Looks like you’re compiling for a wrong board. XIAO does not have TC1_IRQn timer defined. But Arduino Duo (Cortext M3 based) do.

Thanks for the help! Just needed to download the newest version of the Radiohead library for the code to work.
