Hello, I just got the Video experimenter board to try to make an external CC display. (The people at my work don’t like to have CC on the screen because it sometimes blocks the ticker on the sports channels)
I had a problem that took a while to figure out so I thought I’d share it here. I did get the error when trying to use the zip file to install the libraries, so I just pasted the folders as you have advised others. However, I was still having problems and was not able to decode the CC.
It turns out that the Arduino IDE was updating your TVout library with the library of the same name made by mdmetzle@gmail.com. I was able to get your decoder example sketch working by reinstalling the IDE in a new folder, renaming (backup) my existing libraries folder, and avoiding the IDE updating the libraries. I’m not sure how many of those steps are actually necessary, but that’s what worked for me.Mike, thanks for reporting that issue. I didn’t know that Arduino would try to update the library from the older version that the Video Experimenter version is based upon. The Video Experimenter and its library were developed in 2010, long before the library management features in Arduino. Thanks again for posting.
