    Default Question about Virtual Tool System parameters

    The Programming Handbook says in the "Virtual Tool System" section that Shopbot Variables can be substituted for literal parameters, but this does not appear to be so.

    For example, this works...

    TR, 9000
    SO,1,1
    TR, 9000
    PAUSE 180
    SO,1,0

    But this does not, even though the value of the variable prints correctly.

    &WRPM = 9000
    TR, 9000
    SO,1,1
    TR,&WRPM
    PAUSE 180
    SO,1,0
    PRINT &WRPM

    Anybody else run into this and is there a fix?

    Not at my 'bot to be able to try it but you might want to try a space between the comma and the ampersand.

    Ok it's just been confirmed in another thread as a problem that's already been reported.

    Bill, it wouldn't hurt to report it again. Squeaky wheel...

    Sometime these obscure things that not many would use get lost.
