CancelInvoke doesn't actually cancel anything
Hello, I have a function ReadDataFromBHI() that will initialize a serial port then open it, then uses InvokeRepeating to read the data at 3 sec intervals. It's working fine, the problem is it won't stop. I have a disconnect button that calls ClosePorts() when clicked. As you can see the ClosePorts() is supposed to cancelInvoke the ReadDataContinuously and has a Boolean flag that sets to false, this isn't working either. The ReadDataContinuously continues to read data and print to the console window. Any help getting this to stop?
Thanks
