Hi folks,
I'd be grateful for some input on why my global variable 'Green' is outside of the scope of my function 'flash'.
The error is below -
Kind regards, Al

/tmp/649693356/sketch_sep12a/sketch_sep12a.ino: In function 'void flash()':

/tmp/649693356/sketch_sep12a/sketch_sep12a.ino:15:16: error: 'Green' was not declared in this scope

Because it is "defined" inside a comment?

How is this an installation and troubleshooting ("For problems with Arduino itself, NOT your project") question?

Thank you AWOL. Perhaps this forum needs to be renamed ‘troubleshooting installation’, then?
If ever you need help in my area of expertise, I can assure you it won’t come with a side salad of sarcasm. Al

Maybe English isn't your first language (I'm guessing it isn't, because you missed the "For problems with Arduino itself, NOT your project") , but I assure you there was no sarcasm in my response.

I can't offer such assurances for the future.
