Compile error for AI Thinker ESP32-CAM card


Hello I am a beginner of C language for microprocessors. I want to copy a .bmp file using copyimage() function .This error occurs when compile button is pushed:

Error is : cannot convert 'fs::File' to 'FILE* {aka __sFILE*}' for argument '1' to 'int getc(FILE*)'


Solution

  • Contrary to the comments, your error is quite clear from the message and code:

    You are trying to use a C library function getc with a ESP32 library object File.

    That is impossible. getc can not work with this object, or any C++ object because it is a C function.

    To read from the file object, you need to use its method read like this:

    header[i] = fo.read();
    

    You should read the library documentation for more information on how to use the File object, or see this tutorial on working with SD card:
