threading

[gccosta]

to use threads, i could implement all methods on the same file?

i mean, i have one file with 5 diferent methods, all of them have a "while true" inside it, and inside the "While true" i have a "Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(5000)" to sleep for 5 seconds each thread. Have some problem with it??

I think it have some problem, because it uses betwen 95% and 98% of the cpu!

Thank you,

Loop is very CPU intense especially if just continuously loops and checks for a value. This is made worse if you are running all 5 methods at the sametime via threading. What is it you are trying to do? Or what exactly is the problem?

[gccosta]

i have 4 serial ports connected to the PC, and i have to monitor some data that i recieve via serial.

that's why i have this four methodes, the fith will be soon implemented!

Thanks for any help,

instead of thread.sleep() why dont you just put all the code together in the same thread?

Alternatively you could just use a single timer and have it poll each method once per tick.
