Object reference in variable

Mogatek

Hi All,

I am not sure whether this has been asked or not, but I couldn't seem to find anything nor could I manage to make it work. I wanted to pre-"extract" the part of the object model, namely a heater and an extruder associated with a given tool, to later do some queries on it with less clutter.

var tool = 0
;--- FIXME! - these assume one heater and one extruder per tool
var toolExtruder = move.extruders[tools[var.tool].extruders[0]]
var toolHeater = heat.heaters[tools[var.tool].heaters[0]]

;--- These are not working:
echo var.toolHeater.current
echo var.toolExtruder.position

If I enter global toolExtruder = move.extruders[tools[0].extruders[0]] in the console, then I enter echo global.toolExtruder then it shows that this is an {object}. So I assume that the variable assignment has worked. I feel that it should work somehow, but I failed to figure out how to reference its members. Tried with using all kinds of parenthesis, without any luck.

Is this possible with some syntax?

@Mogatek I confirm that this is not possible at present. Please raise an issue at https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/issues.
