I have manjaro installed as a dualboot on my hp laptop with windows 10, i created the partition and installed the os to the partition but nothing will save after i reboot, it boots into the installation screen and the changes/downloads i made are reverted and deleted
Hi fellow devs, I'm writing an article about OLED displays. It's a simple article with practical examples on how to drive an OLED display with an Arduino board, A Nucleo board and - last but not least - the 10-cent RISC-V MCU from WCH.
The article is still in construction. You can find it here: https://embeetle.com/#blog/oled I'll also post it on the DevHeads server once it's ready.
I can then add your sample project to our Embeetle database - such that people from all over the world can download your project. Of course you'll get due credit in the readme.txt file
@MJ Mokhtar Welcome! Can you let us know a bit about your technical background, what brings you to DevHeads, and what you're looking to learn/contribute?!
Good day guys, I am running a program on Arduino IDE while utilizing Adafruit ESP32 Feather MCU. I have three sensors reading data thrice per run, with a 4G connection to transmit data to the SIM carrier's cloud database (likely on Azure). Additionally, I manage a buzzer and LEDs for device status indication. Do I need RTOS for task scheduling? Any suggestions to enhance or improve the device?
In my opinion, yes you need, maybe build a mobile application for it, and offline notifications and control threw SMS in case the user has no Internet connection
Hmm building a mobile application sounds interesting @aymen ammari . Just asking , what would be the key features of the app, and how would it enhance the user experience compared to traditional methods of device control and monitoring?
The need to use RTOS is based on many factors considering your project requires managing multiple tasks. I'd suggest the use of RTOS in case you're already comfortable with porting RTOS on MCU. Otherwise, you can implement task scheduling without using RTOS to keep things simple
Thanks for the insight too @Umesh Lokhande I'm now weighing the pros and cons of using RTOS, especially considering the complexity of managing multiple tasks. I'll try out both options further to determine the best approach for task scheduling in my project. Do you have any recommendations or resources for getting started with RTOS porting on the MCU?
@Flash Gordon Welcome! Can you let us know a bit about your technical background, what brings you to DevHeads, and what you're looking to learn/contribute?!
The RTOS scheduler decides which task to run on a recurring basis, and some tasks can interrupt and run before other tasks in a process known as “preemption.”
