Discover how the real-time operating system Artioles lets Arduino run multiple prioritized tasks as a library that shims into the Arduino IDE, enabling motor control, sensor reads, and LCD display.
Discover how real time multitasking and deterministic scheduling drive embedded systems, with a kernel switching tasks by priority to provide deterministic execution, and Arduino IDE for writing and uploading sketches.
Prepare with multiple Arduino boards—Uno, Leonardo, Micro, Mega 2560—plus Zigbee, Ethernet, and OLED with a DNA module for multitasking.
Install the FreeRTOS library in the Arduino IDE via manage libraries, verify its source on GitHub, include it in your sketch, and upload to the correct port.
Learn to run two concurrent tasks on an Arduino Mega using FreeRTOS: a blinking LED task and an analog read task, with proper task creation, priorities, and vTaskDelay-based timing.
Learn to enable multitasking on a single-core Arduino with FreeRTOS by defining tasks, prioritizing them, and running three concurrent operations on an LCD, including value display and backlight dimming.
Determine hardware and software requirements to run three tasks on an Arduino with FreeRTOS, including an LCD backlight control and a potentiometer for contrast; install Arduino IDE and circuit software.
Explore how multitasking lets a single processor run concurrent threads beyond a single threaded program. See how reactive systems gain responsiveness and memory efficiency with concurrent threads.
Explain how protothreading on a single-core Arduino microcontroller differs from true multithreading, using cycles, hyper-threading analogies, and looping tasks to manage LCD updates, variable increments, and text rotation without blocking.
Explore how to implement three concurrent tasks—led backlight for lcd, incrementing a variable, and displaying random text—managed by a least-blocking main loop, using non-blocking delays.
Connect and configure your Arduino circuit, wiring an LCD display with a contrast potentiometer and an LED, then simulate the setup in Tinkercad.
Learn to add and install the timed action library in the Arduino IDE for the Arduino UNO, using manual download, library directory placement, and proper inclusion in sketches.
This lesson shows how to fix a library error in Arduino by editing the library file, changing the include line to text with Arduino, saving, and recompiling to remove error.
Code the first two tasks for Arduino multitasking: increment and display a counter on the lcd, and rotate through a four-string array to show varying text.
implement multitasking in arduino with freertos by coding a third task that fires timed actions and updates a 16x2 lcd, while fading the backlight with pwm and checking threads.
Orchestrate practical code testing by manually adding libraries in TinkerCAD, unzipping and editing files, and removing unnecessary includes to run multi-task Arduino simulations.
