My app keeps the serial port open while it is running. I know this uses a lot of power but it is one of the features of my program. When the backlight turns off and the PPC becomes inactive, it seems that the Serial Port becomes inactive or closes somehow. If I close the app and open it again it works fine. Is there a way to sense when he PPC becoems dim? Can I keep it on all the time when my app is running? Thanks for the help.
