<p class=MsoNormal><b>Task Scheduler – cooperative multitasking for Arduino microcontrollers</b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Version 1.51: 2015-09-20</b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>REQUIREMENT</b>:</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A lightweight implementation of the task scheduling
supporting:</p>

<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1>
 <li class=MsoNormal>execution period (n times per second)</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal>number of iterations (n times)</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal>execution of tasks in predefined sequence</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal>dynamic change of the execution parameters for both tasks
     and execution schedule</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal>power saving via entering IDLE sleep mode if no tasks are
     scheduled to run</li>
</ol>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>IDEA</b>:</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>“Task” is a container concept that links together:</p>

<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1>
 <li class=MsoNormal>Execution interval</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal>Number of execution iterations</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal>A piece of code performing the task activities (callback
     function)</li>
</ol>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Tasks are linked into execution chains, which are processed
by the “Scheduler” in the order they are linked.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Tasks are responsible for supporting cooperative
multitasking by being “good neighbors”, i.e., running their callback functions
in a non-blocking way and releasing control as soon as possible. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>“Scheduler” is executing Tasks' callback functions in the
order the tasks were added to the chain, from first to last. Scheduler stops
and exists after processing the chain once in order to allow other statements
in the main code of <b>loop()</b> function to run.&nbsp; This a “scheduling
pass”.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If compiled with <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>_TASK_SLEEP_ON_IDLE_RUN</span>
enabled, the scheduler will place processor into IDLE sleep mode (for
approximately 1 ms, as the timer interrupt will wake it up), after what is
determined to be an “idle” pass. An Idle Pass is a pass through the chain when
no Tasks were scheduled to run their callback functions. This is done to avoid
repetitive empty passes through the chain when no tasks need to be executed. If
any of the tasks in the chain always requires immediate execution (aInterval =
0), then there will be no end-of-pass delay.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Note: </b>Task Scheduler uses <b>millis()</b> to
determine if tasks are ready to be invoked. Therefore, if you put your device
to any “deep” sleep mode disabling timer interrupts, the <b>millis()</b> count
will be suspended, leading to effective suspension of scheduling. Upon wake up,
active tasks need to be re-enabled, which will effectively reset their internal
time scheduling variables to the new value of <b>millis(). </b>Time spent in
deep sleep mode should be considered “frozen”, i.e., if a task was scheduled to
run in 1 second from now, and device was put to sleep for 5 minutes, upon wake
up, the task will still be scheduled 1 second from the time of wake up.
Executing <b>enable() </b>function on this tasks will make it run as soon as
possible. This is a concern only for tasks which are required to run in a truly
periodical manner (in absolute time terms). </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>COMPILE PARAMETERS:</b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This library could be compiled with several options. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal>These parameters must be defined before inclusion of the
library header file into the sketch.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>#define <b>_TASK_TIMECRITICAL</b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>...will compile the library with time critical tracking
option enabled.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Time critical option keeps track where next execution time
of the task falls, and makes it available via API through Task::<b> getOverrun()
</b>function. If <b>getOverrun </b>returns a negative value, this Task’s next
execution time is in the past, and task is behind schedule. This most probably
means that either task’s callback function runtime is too long, or the
