''does anyone know how i can make one task wait, while the other is running?''

That would be in the documentation for whatever RTOS it is that you're using. You haven't said what RTOS you're using, but it looks like it might be something from CooCox? If it is, have you tried asking CooCox for support?

''ST ... have made up something similar to classes, called TypeDefs''

Actually, typdefs are a standard part of the 'C' programming language - nothing specifically to do with ST or their libraries. The particular typedefs here are 'C' structs which group together the settings used by a particular function - which saves having to specify a massively long parameter list, or having to call a whole string of functions to make settings individually.

Thanks, its written in CooCox IDE, and the OS is CoOS!

IMHO this is a question for the Coocox forum, as task synchronisation issues are not STM32-specific.

And I would look out for the CoOS documentation (if existing ...)
