Arduino task scheduler
Brad shared an Arduino library he wrote schedules when specific functions will be executed. The code is open source and available on github.
This entry was posted in Arduino and tagged Arduino, open source, task scheduler.This library allows you to create a schedule queue of functions to be executed at specified times, on specified intervals. For example, say you’re trying to log some sensor data and update a display in the same program. With the task scheduler, you can simply write a function to gather sensor data, write a function to update the display, add them to your queue, and let the library handle the rest.

Terrific! I could find so much use for this in my Xbee-based, SD-writing, Input-polling, LCD-displaying project.
Umm… Aren’t there a bunch of other scheduler/RTOS’s for Atemega and AVR parts out there already?

Also, a real “Scheduler” not only allows a-priori scheduling (what this seems to do), but services real time task requests, often within some specified latency period.
