Is it possible in spin to get a return value from an object? or does this only work between methods in a single object? i'm trying to return the number of steps a motor takes from one object and use it in the toplevel object but cant seem to get it to work.
thanks,
Owen

    Yes that is normal.

    PUB Toplevel
    value := Obj_X

    No toplevel objetc:

    PUB Obj_X : x
    a:= y
    return a

    Or

    x:= a

    It should work (and does work for others). You'll have to post the particular program where you have the problem (do it as an attachment) so we can have a look at it. The problem often is not what you might think.
