A Technique for Sharing Realtime in the Arduino Software Environment

[rgsparber]

I often run into Arduino applications that deal with realtime events. It is rather easy to write code that causes these events to be missed. Here is one way to solve the problem that avoids running at interrupt level.

Isn't there FreeRTOS ports for the various ATMEGA parts? I use that on everything now but I mainly use NXP Cortex parts. I'm going to set up to run on the Arduino boards since they're so cheap to get ready made, simply erase the interpreter on it and load in real code.

I think it might be at the device but is not brought out to pins on the Pro Micro board. I looked into it a few years ago and found that is was poorly supported and documented. I made my own very modest device for the ATTINY-85 that used a single pin.
