Using the NRF24 class in multiple files

i'm trying access functions within nrf24 library whilst having own sketch broken .ino, .h , .cpp.

however if don't include

code: [select]

rf24 radio(3, 4);
in both .cpp , .ino file, class functions aren't recognised.

however if include

code: [select]

rf24 radio(3, 4);
in both files, load of errors come things being initialised.

how can fix this? i.e. have subroutines.h/.cpp file can work radio class node.ino file can access commands?

the rest of code below if necessary:
node.ino

code: [select]


#include "radiointerface.h"

rf24data volatile ifile;

rf24 radio(3, 4);
void setup() {

  setupradio();
  radio.printdetails();
}

void loop() {
  // nothing now

}


radiointerface.h

code: [select]


//prototype function definition
void setupradio(void);


radiointerface.cpp

code: [select]


#include "arduino.h"
#include "radiointerface.h"

void setupradio(void) {

setupradio();
  radio.begin();                           // setup , configure rf radio
  radio.setchannel(74);                    // set channel
  radio.setpalevel(rf24_pa_high);          // set pa low demonstration. want radio lossy possible example.
  radio.setdatarate(rf24_1mbps);           // raise data rate reduce transmission distance , increase lossiness
  radio.enabledynamicpayloads();           // enable dynamic payloads
  radio.setautoack(1);                     // ensure autoack enabled
  radio.setretries(2, 15);                 // optionally, increase delay between retries. want number of auto-retries high possible (15)
  radio.setcrclength(rf24_crc_16);         // set crc length 16-bit ensure quality of data
  radio.maskirq(1, 1, 0);                  // recieve notifications data recieved;
 
  radio.openwritingpipe(pipes[0]);         // open default reading , writing pipe
  radio.openreadingpipe(1, pipes[1]);
 
  radio.powerup();                         //power radio
  delay(5);
 
  radio.startlistening();                  // start listening
}


damnit forum, wrote long answer forum gave me error.

short answer, declare need it. if need in files, declare there. don't forget ti include library there , not in ino.

or, if want use in both, declare in .ino , pass parameter functions. if want once (for example in begin() call, make pointer.

last option declare extern think that's ugly way it.
