Transform Your Microcontroller into a Multi-Core Processor with TaskScheduler Instead of delay()!

In traditional Arduino programming, using the delay() function causes the entire program to enter a waiting state, making it impossible to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Want to control LED blinking, motor operation, read sensor data, and handle serial communication at the same time?Traditional blocking programming turns microcontrollers into “single-threaded” processors. The lightweight cooperative multitasking scheduling … Read more

TaskScheduler: A Lightweight Cooperative Multitasking Scheduler for Arduino, ESP32, STM32 and Other Microcontrollers

In embedded development, multitasking is key to improving system efficiency and functionality. For resource-constrained microcontrollers, traditional preemptive multitasking frameworks (like FreeRTOS) can be overly complex and resource-intensive. In this case, the lightweight cooperative multitasking scheduler TaskScheduler becomes an ideal choice. Introduction to TaskScheduler TaskScheduler is a library that provides cooperative multitasking capabilities for microcontrollers such … Read more
