How to define an array of strings of characters in header file?

Question

I have many different 3 axis sensors I am writing test code for. In the C files for each of them, I have the same char string defined:

char axis[3][8] = {\"X\",          


        

Answer 1

Add this to your header:

extern char *axis[];

Add this to one source file in your project:

char *axis[] = { "X", "Y", "Z", "Time", "Space", "The Scary Door" };
