In this video, Shawn talks about how a task is created in FreeRTOS using the ESP32 and Arduino. A task in FreeRTOS is similar to a thread in other multi-threaded environments (e.g. POSIX). It is a unit of CPU utilization designed to accomplish some goal. For our purposes, we just want to create a new thread and toggle an LED. #MakerIO #FreeRTOS #ESP32 #Arduino #OperatingSystems #ShawnHymel View on YouTube --> https://dky.bz/2Nk23Bz | DigiKey
