Parallel tasking between Start0 and Start1 is fine until the serin command is hit in "Start0" at that point Start1 also stops. I have attached a snip-it of my code below. To test my theory I added a Do statement (not included in the code below) at the being of my Start1 that would blink ledpir. the led would blink several times then just stay high. So I ran the code in the simulation software, where it appears that both Start0 and Start1 halt execution when Start0 hits the "serin" command. Of course Start0 should halt while waiting to receive a signal.
So will serin work with parallel tasking?
Thanks..
Edited - this all started when I could only get my code to receive RF signal "Start0". Start1 - a switch at this point, would not execute. both Start0 and Start1 run fine as a single application.
