Error compiling for arduino uno

[ziv13-meet]

Hi!
I tried to load the example of yours - UsbMouseDemo1 and it says there is error compiling.
error details:

would love to get help from you, since im looking forward to be able to use my board as a mouse!
thanks :)

Hi,
I would have to dedicate some time to it. I will see if I have free time
next week. It looks like a simple thing:
did you tried changing the lines to:
PROGMEM const char ... ?

Umm i see only one of it. What lines and in what files?
thanks for the quick response, it is very appreciated!

[ziv13-meet]

So i got the compilation to work, but for some reason the cursor doesn't move... any ideas?

[meirm]

hardware wise is very tricky. You need to make sure you have the exact
resistors and diodes and well powered arduino. Did you set up the hardware
properly. It is not meant to be used with the arduino USB jack as it is
registered already as a tty.

I couldn't find the right hardware for the schematics, then let's say i want to say the mouse to move, not under any event connected to hardware on arduino. how can i do that?
my project is to move the mouse with the joystick connected. the joysticks does give values(i could have seen it in the serial) but if i tell the mouse just to move:
UsbMouse.move(10,10,0);
shouldn't it work?

May be this can help you:

Hey again.
So apparently all i needed was to read more, especially about the Serial connection. They have a nice library in python that lets you play with all the Arduino stuff and make it a "virtual" mouse. Thanks for your help, Ziv! ☺
