Can System manual mode be used in-conjunction with calling particle.procoess in a separate thread?
I wouldn’t see why not, but why do you ask?
Have you tried it and it didn’t work?
With SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) there is little need to call Particle.process()
I was looking doing and would just call particle process in a seperate thread frequently so I dont have to call it through out the code. How frequently should it be called? like every 100ms?
I havnt tried it yet though.
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);
SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL);
I just tried to do the above but now the cellular doesnt conntect below are the logs. Do you have any idea why its not connecting when in manual mode?

I found that if I call it too quickly the connection is unstable. If I call it every 500ms the connection remains connected. Below is what I am using.
void PublishQueueAsync::ParticleProcess() {
static uint32_t prevProcessMillis = 0;
if (Particle.connected() && Cellular.ready() && millis() - prevProcessMillis >= 500) {
Particle.process();
prevProcessMillis = millis();
}
}
void PublishQueueAsync::threadFunction() {
// Call the stateHandler forever
while(true) {
stateHandler(*this);
ParticleProcess();
getRSSI();
os_thread_yield();
}
}
My point was, when you use SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) you’d not need to call Particle.process() in your code anywhere.

ahh ok, ill give that a go by removing the particle process calls
that did the trick. thanks!
