Scheduler

Other

Allows multiple tasks to run at the same time, without interrupting each other. For Arduino sam and samd architectures only (Due, Zero...).
The Scheduler library enables the Arduino to run multiple functions at the same time. This allows tasks to happen without interrupting each other.This is a cooperative scheduler in that the CPU switches from one task to another. The library includes methods for passing control between tasks.

Compatibility

This library is compatible with the sam, samd architectures so you should be able to use it on the following Arduino boards:

Releases

To use this library, open the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE and install it from there.

Usage

The Scheduler library enables an Arduino based on SAM and SAMD architectures (i.e Zero, MKRZero, MKR1000, Due boards) to run multiple functions at the same time. This allows tasks to happen without interrupting each other. This is a cooperative scheduler in that the CPU switches from one task to another. The library includes methods for passing control between tasks.

To use this library:

#include <Scheduler.h>

Notes and warnings

The Scheduler library and associated functions are experimental. While it is not likely the API will change in future releases, it is still under development.
