IDE compiler error?

I have installed the library SimpleFOC version 2.0 Using Arduino IDE 1.8.13 Copied code from this page: Reaction Wheel Pendulum | Arduino-FOC

Compiler stops at: BLDCDriver3PWM motor = BLDCDriver3PWM(9, 10, 11, 8);

with this error:
Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: “Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)”

PS. I can not go to my profile page to add my photo. Get 404 not found error

Looking at code differences from Position Control example | Arduino-FOC
and Reaction Wheel Pendulum | Arduino-FOC

this line in pendulum
BLDCDriver3PWM motor = BLDCDriver3PWM(9, 10, 11, 8);

is this in position control
BLDCDriver3PWM driver = BLDCDriver3PWM(9, 10, 11, 8);

using the line from position control instead of said line from pendulum and it compiles fine now

Thanks a lot for the heads up, I just did a lot of refactoring in the docs and unfortunately this is to be expected :smiley:
I am not the best typer :smiley:

I will update the docs right away!
