MultiCogSerialDebug need helping sending a Variable

Dgswaner

I'm having trouble with some code and I really need to be able to see what some variables are doing. I've tried to use the Multicogserialdebug object but I can't get the syntax right to send a variable. I looked at the notes in the object comments but I still can't make heads or tails of it. can someone help me out.

debug.cprintf(string("DIRECTION %s\r"),RANGE,false) is what I have the %s is just the last thing I tried. from what I understand this should display "DIRECTION ### [noparse][[/noparse]RETURN]"

### being the value of the Range VAR. and [noparse][[/noparse]RETURN] being a well a return.
all I'm getting is "DIRECTION "

any text I send shows up. just not vars.

Thanks for any help

If RANGE is a value, eg. byte, word or long, then you must use
one of the integervalue format specifiers: %d(=%i),%b,%o,%u,%x
If RANGE is a character, eg. "A", and you want to print the character, use %c
If RANGE is a null terminated byte buffer, you must use %s, but specify @RANGE
as cprintf in that case expects an address.

wow that was too easy all I had to do was add a %d and it worked.. I swear I tried that tho.
