Trouble Declaring Global Var

printernoodle

How do you define a global variable?
I have tried entering

global status=true

in the console

And then the web interface just goes into a non stop connect disconnect loop.
Tried the same with

global status=1

even tried putting this declaration right into gonfig.g
That just put the entire system into the same connection connect disconnect loop regardless of reboot.

I've been struggling with this for a bit now....
cant get a global variable created...
What am I not doing here?

Well the release version of 3.3 is out and it works fine with global variables.

I suggest you update and try then.

Have you tried any other variable names?

@fcwilt
yes I've tried "global derack" "global magprobe_status" "global qgl"
all start some weird connection loop on the DWC

Over and over again.....frozen on boot up

going to the release version of 3.3 seems to have fixed it.
Thank you very much indeed!!
