SOLVED Error: unknown variable 'global.magprobestatus'

[thaug29]

I am trying to run this macro but I keep getting the error unknown variable. This is a Duet 3 6HC with SBC, what am I doing wrong.

if sensors.probes[0].value[0] = 0
set global.magprobestatus = "attached"
elif sensors.probes[0].value[0] > 500
set global.magprobestatus = "docked"

You have to create a variable before you can refer to it with a set command.

To create the variable you would use something like:

global magprobestatus = "unknown"

That is not a typo, there is no period, there is one space.

I create my globals in config.g.
