Propbasic: Invalid Parameter on HUB variable in 2nd Task (v99) [Solved]

Yendor

Bean,

I took the code and added a hub variable 'myval', and tried to increment the value in my 2nd task.

It comes back as 'invalid parameter'.

Also, for fun, in the Serial_RX task, I added

INC RxHead
INC HPntr

And it comes back with invalid parameter for RxHead.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Hi

Inc applies to cog variables only.the variable RxHead is a hub variable.

Yendor,
Yeap, Gerry is exactly correct. HUB variables are not directly accessible. You'll need to do:

RDBYTE rxHead, temp
INC temp
WRBYTE rxHead, temp

Of course you may not need the WRBYTE if the updated value doesn't have to be permanent.
