What is FreeRTOS? (ESP32 + Arduino series)

Want to multitask on your ESP32? By using FreeRTOS you won't have to worry about scheduling your tasks and making sure that all of them are given enough processing time.

FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system, designed to run on microcontrollers. It has a scheduler that gives each task a fair share of CPU processing power. When that's not possible, the scheduler will use a task's priority to give the most important ones the most CPU time.

these videos are amazing for what they are, simplified and still extremely informative!

a nice and quick explanation of sleeping modes and rtos, combining this with the ESP32 API reference gives an understanding of how to start to configure sleeping modes and rtos features

Thank you for the explanation! I learned about FreeRTOS only recently and I want to dive into it more in the future! I know that FreeRTOS has many applicances (both industrial/professional & consumer)! 🙂👍

I had no idea. Thank you for the explanation. ❤

Very useful. Thanks for sharing! From Argentina.

This video is full of wrong information. Every OS is capable of scheduling and running operations in parallel.
An RTOS, however; can guarantee that user-space code meets its deadlines, each time.

And it does not have anything to do with how tasks are defined, as long as real-time requirements of that particular product are met.

Hi. Have you ever had the issue where your ESP32 won't connect to wifi when using external power supply? im using the "doit esp32 Devkit V1". the Wifi works fine as long the board is connected to my PC. But if I power it from a phone charger, it sometimes works and other times not. its seems a bit random. But when powering the board from "VIN" with 5V, the Wifi NEVER works. Have you had the same issue? if so, I will be very greatfull if you could explain how you fixed it. Thank you for creating the amazing content you are sharing here on youtube.

I've been playing DefiWarrior for a few days now. it's fine

Please can you explain the code of your home energy manager? it would be really useful, thank you.

Can we make arduino based walkie talkie using free rtos
