+This is a web-based article describing *cooperative multitasking*, also known as
|
|
|
|
+*event driven programming*. The method described here is small enough to fit on
|
|
|
|
+many sub-$1 microcontrollers, those without memory management units. Examples are
|
|
|
|
+the STM32, STM8, PY32, AtMega, AtTiny, 8051 and Pic microcontrollers.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+With this code structure in place, these tiny microcontrollers can be made to
|
|
|
|
+perform multiple separate tasks, apparantly independent from each other.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
+The reader is walked through the elements of the build, and is then given a fully-implemented
|
|
|
|
+block of code. The 2nd half of the article builds on the basis, with lots of
|
|
|
|
+examples of state-machines and modifications to allow for cleaner code.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The audience for this article is anyone interested in writing code for small micro-controllers.
|
|
|
|
+A background in any programming language would help (*C, Rust, Python*).
