Beginner can't pass values between cogs

scidog

Hello,

Looking at these two SPIN files, I (as a rank beginner) would say that they should do the same thing. That is, both spin files should flicker pins 4 and 6 hi/lo many times a second.

I am obviously so very wrong.

The attached "good" file works: The value for variable "ADCX" is utilized properly and the !outa[noparse]/noparse statements flicker the output pin states many times a second.


The bad file shows no errors, yet not a thing happens either.


All I want to do is pass the value from the first public method to the second for use.

This little example showcases a fundamental problem I have passing values between methods, let alone cogs.

I need to be able to pass global variables between methods, and for some reason I cannot see the attached bad code file does not.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

scidog

Execution starts with the first pub method. In "bad", the first pub is justholdvalue, which doesn't do very much.
