See more:

I am getting a "expected unqualified-id before numeric constant" error
(note this is Arduino code)

also , the code isn't finished yet but if its compiled the error still shows

Im just simply creating a project that can control two motors and some leds

Thanks

What I have tried:

I thought at first it was to do with the fact that the subroutine loops where numbers instead of starting with a character but the error has been found on the 6th subroutine

Solution 2

Name your methods void 1 loop, void 2 loop, ... correctly something like

void loop1()
void loop2()
etc.

and call them in your loop forever like this

void loop() {
  do {

    switch (num) {
      case 1:
        loop1();
        break;

      case 2:
        loop2();
        break;
...

I hope it helps.

Thank you very much

Solution 1

Your code has several mistakes:

Is A0 a variable, constant or define? If not, you'd better write byte PWM_PIN = 0xA0;
while (1 != 2);: Your loop will never end, since one won't ever equal two.
void 1 loop, void 2 loop, etc.: all of these six method declarations are invalid. Why don't you write the body of those inside their respective case statements?

A0 is a pin usually defined in pins_arduino.h
while (1!=2) I think is on purpose and is the loop forever
;)

phil.o 2-May-20 10:08am

while (FALSE) maybe?

[no name] 2-May-20 10:12am

Uuups :-) I think more while (TRUE)

phil.o 2-May-20 10:16am

Oops ^^

HamzaMcBob 2-May-20 10:42am

YES THE Do while was meant to be infant …
I am not very confident with Arduino sorry about any errors
