I am creating two message simulators, one is serial and one is Ethernet. The Ethernet is working fine but, the serial is not. I am formating a message and writing it to the port while it is also reading status coming in. That part is working fine but, I have to also send out a heartbeat every so often and cannot because it cannot do both loops in parallel. I am not sure why it is working fine on my Ethernet and not on the serial. Thank you, Molly
