Solved 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?

@printernoodle

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

@fcwilt

Over and over again.....frozen on boot up
I will try the new release.

@fcwilt

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