Is there a label length limit?
...
[Initialize_Setting_Parameters_1]
[Initialize_Setting_Parameters_2]
[Initialize_Setting_Parameters_2]
...
Label already defined [Initialize_Setting_Parameters_2]
Label already defined [Initialize_Setting_Parameters_3]

I'm seeing only about 50 of my variables are being recognized. Is there a limit?

- Sat Aug 20, 2016 3:54 am #53348 I don't know the answer but many languages will not discriminate between variables of as you suspect over a certain length. Been meaning to ask what the limits are for size of the different data types, just in case i hit it.

Would also be good to know how variables are actually stored. (Ram / flash / rtc ram or whatever ) as well as storage layout. I suppose i should read the source, always good to learn another language...

I think that the character limit for the length of a [label] is 10 characters.

Variable names lengths should also be limited to 10 characters.

There is a maximum of 50 variables that can be used by your basic program. This is not counting arrays but arrays can be used by the web gui for textboxs and what not.

- Sun Aug 21, 2016 2:31 pm #53509 OK, so I limited labels to 10 characters (although I suspect the max is more like 16 or 20) .

As far as the variables go, I changed most to use arrays. Debugger is complaining that arrays are 'not defined'

I've reduced to code demonstrate...
