Dual Core issues

[videobuff]

I am writing cde for a antenna rotor, and would like to have the graphic code to run in one task, whereas getting the heading data from the antenna will run in another task. (I haven't written the last one yet, since i got stuck at the grafhics. The graphics itsself is running fine if i dont' use dual core.
However, when porting the code to a working simple dual core example. i got stuck and receive the following error code

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

It is the call to plotNeedle(angle,30) from this subroutine who creates the havoc, and i searched for days for a solution but could not find it.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. //Task2code: blinks an LED every 700 ms
2. void Task2code( void * pvParameters ){
3.   Serial.print("Task2 running on core ");
4.   Serial.println(xPortGetCoreID());
5.  
6. variable = true;
7.  while (variable == true) {
8.     uint16_t angle = random(361); // random speed in range 0 to 240
9.     plotNeedle(angle, 30);
10.     variable = false;
11.     delay(500);
12.   }
13. vTaskDelete(NULL);
14. }

The complete code is attached
Any help is very much appreciated....

It would help if you could decode the backtrace so we could see the exact line that triggers the StoreError.

Edit: Possibly found it. You start up task2 in setup() and only afterwards initialize the TFT. What do you think plotNeedle would do if it happens to run before the TFT code is initialized? Note that you're running it in a separate task which starts running in parallel with your setup() code as soon as you create it.
