Hello,

I'm developing an app. that works fine with B4P.

I'm working with 2 serial ports and I use some timers.

How many timers can work at the same time.

Thanks in advance

Any number of timers can work together.
However you should set their interval to be long enough so the cpu will be able to handle the events.

Note that events (including the tick event) are only fired when the program in an idle state.

With more than 3 timers, the forth doesn't work, but if you stop one of the three, then it works.

try doevents

Maybe you could try putting doevents in somewhere. I'm not sure exactly where.

I'll try. I'm newbie with B4P and don't know the real limit of the compiler yet.
