You need to read about variable scope, how functions work and essentially when to use them. In my opinion, this is not one of those occasions.

See Number 6 Here

Or don't use functions. Your code should work perfectly as a subroutine - without the globals. Plus, you also have the ability to write data as strings.



You also appear to be misreading the help files (or making things up as you go along) which unfortunately doesn't work.:

write float 1,"me"

You should read a few tutorials so you know what you are doing...

See Number 4 Here

Quite a few of the tutorials in that thread will teach you a considerable amount.

It can't be - not if that was the only typo and that's the only thing you changed!

Your global declaration was wrong and your Write Float and Write Long were both writing string literals.

As I said, that shouldn't really be a function and if it really has to be (which it doesn't), you don't appear to understand how functions work. Please check out those tutorials.

OK - as long as you are now sorted - that's the main thing!
