TFT touch Screen+ Serial communication

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hi guys,
i habe 2 Arduinos Mega (one for TFT Touch and the other one for Sensor).
The funktion Werte() is used for reding the serial Communication received from arduino1 and write
it on arduino 2. the TFT works good without the function Wert().
but when i use the function Wert() the touch doesnt work .
So what can i do ?

void loop{
if (currentPage == '0') {
Werte();
if (myTouch.dataAvailable()) {

  myTouch.read();
  x=myTouch.getX();  
  y=myTouch.getY();   
  if ((x>=110) && (x<=410) && (y>=350) && (y<=450)) {
    drawFrame(110, 350,410, 450); 
    currentPage = '1'; 
    myGLCD.clrScr(); 
    Systemeinstellung(); 
  }

void Werte(){
while (Serial1.available() > 0)
{
// wait until the serial reading encounters character 'a'
// this marks the beginning of data
inChar = Serial1.read();
while (inChar != 'a')
{
inChar = Serial1.read();
}
// when character 'a' is encountered, read the floating data till the next character
sensor1 = Serial1.parseFloat();
inChar = Serial1.read();
// run if the next character is 'b' (it will always be 'b', unless someone messes with the sender code)
if (inChar == 'b')
{
// read floating value till next character
sensor2 = Serial1.parseFloat();
}
inChar = Serial1.read();
// break out of the loop once character 'c' is encountered
if (inChar == 'c')
{
break;
}
// for more sensor values, add more IF cases and keep the 'break' in the last one
// number them alphabetically for simplicity
}

Serial.println(sensor1);
Serial.println(sensor2);

myGLCD.printNumF(sensor1,2,190, 150);

 myGLCD.printNumF(sensor2,2,360, 150);

}

First read How to get the best out of this forum and post your entire sketch so it can be copied.

Second, why are you using two Arduinos? Is it because there is significant physical distance from the sensor?

3

You are missing the setup() function and all the code from before setup(). Post the whole code in code tags.

When I look at what you did post, the Werte() function definition is inside of the loop() function. That is illegal.

The Code is too long thats why i used points.
without the funktion Werte() the TFT worked well.
The funktion Werte worked also good but when i use it i couldnt use the TFT touch again imean the touch function doesnt work when i put Werte() funktion.
do you have any solutions guys?
thjis is the Code :

#include <UTouch.h>

no i use 2 Arduinos because i really have many Sensors
