Hi,
I will try to run the exercise at my side again and see if I am able to replicate your view. I can get back to you tomorrow with a definite answer. But please feel free to ask any other questions.

I added in my initial message device_message_queue without &.

I saw this error and I tried with the & in my second message.

But the problem remains the same.

You can see that I have the same trouble with the structure acc_val)

Hi,
Can you please confirm: are you viewing the variable C device_message_queue (just the variable name) or the pointer &device_message_queue). Can you please right-click on the highlighted variable and choose Add to Watch to get a clearer view.
Regards

Hi Pallavi,

I'm using VSC on Windows 11 and NCS 3.4.1

I tred the command here and I get an error (command not found)

I tried only 'set print pretty on' and it's a bit better.

Unfortunately, I still haven't the same view as in the excercice with the little arrow on the left.

Hie,

It seems that you are seeing the compact (non-pretty) output of the device_message_queue struct in the Watch view. This is normal default behavior.

In the VS Code Debug Console, type:

-exec set print pretty on

Then refresh the Watch view and your next output expand into a much more readable format.

Can you also please tell me which OS and NCS version you are using ?

Regards

Pallavi
