Take the sleep(1) out of the code!
The function addressHandlerPortOne() is called from an interrupt, so
you must not call any function which might cause a reschedule (which
sleep() definitely does).
You can do all this by having a separate task waiting for packets
which is woken up by addressHandlerPortOne() with some semaphore.
Look at legOS/kernel/program.c how this is done.
Sleeping inside an interrupt will cause the legOS kernel to hang, this
is why you don't see the change in the LCD. If you remove the sleep,
all is well, and the program correctly listens at port 1 for packets.
Hope this helps,

| Thanks Eddie, Sorry for posting a message I should have known the answer to. I'll have a look at the semaphore example. If anyone knows of a good refence for semaphore programming could they please let me know?Its taken me a while to get into the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
