In this tutorial, we will learn to use Event groups. Events groups are also an important feature that is provided by FreeRTOS. Firstly, we will see an Introduction to Events groups that shows how and where to use it. After that, we will see a demo example with Arduino. Recommended Components The following are recommended … Read more
In this tutorial, we will learn to use binary semaphores in FreeRTOS using Arduino. First, we will see the introduction of binary semaphore and a few applications. After that, we will discuss FreeRTOS API functions that are used to create and manage binary semaphore with tasks and interrupt service routine. In the end, we will … Read more
In this series of FreeRTOS with Arduino tutorials, today we will learn how to change task priority during program execution or after the scheduler has been started. Last tutorial, we have seen how to create tasks with FreeRTOS API and Arduino. We have seen we can also define task priority while creating a task with … Read more
In real-time operating systems, multitasking is achieved by dividing each application into useful tasks. But not all tasks execute throughout the execution of the program. Some tasks are more important and execute more frequently than others. Therefore, in RTOS, some tasks can be deleted during program execution when there is no need to call them … Read more
This is a getting started tutorial on FreeRTOS using Arduino. To demonstrate examples and use of various features of the FreeRTOS operating system, we will use Arduino Uno board and Arduino IDE for writing programs. But you can also use other development boards such as ESP32 and ESP8266. In this article, you will learn how … Read more
