Arduino – Quick And Easy Task Scheduler

This little Arduino library makes it easy to schedule repeating tasks with only a few lines of code.

Features:

• Simplifies code
• Does not block the ‘loop’ function
• Runs a defined function(Task) you created at a set interval.
• Tasks can be delayed on start-up. Useful for when your task is dependent on other tasks starting first.
• Set the number of times you want it to run.
• Stop,Start and pause scheduled tasks
• Has some good examples of how to do things.

Below is a simple example of scheduling a task to blink the on-board LED ever 1/2 second.

The task scheduler points to the TaskToPerform function,but can be any function with a ‘void FunctionName()’ signature. Just remember to change the task.check to point to your function if you do change it. Eg. Task1.check(,);
