Thread is a single sequential flow of control within a program, and one of its benefits is the ability to execute concurrently with other threads within a single process. Discover more advantages of Protothreading and how to use it to make an Arduino perform more tasks concurrently in this course. Initially, we go into the principles of multithreading, the notions of threads, the theoretical framework underlying protothreading, and its functioning.

After that, we outline the three tasks for our prototype, which consist of LED backlighting, incrementing variables, and displaying random text. Then, we learn how to use Tinkercad, a tool that helps simulate Arduino boards, to create a new circuit and connect its components, such as an LED, resistors, LCD, and breadboard. Adding important libraries, like Timed Action, to Arduino IDE and solving the library issue are next covered.

The course concludes by discussing the process of programming each of the three tasks by writing coding lines for adding the LCD library, creating the strings area, and different functions and timers. Finally, you will learn about actual code testing and how to resolve error messages when running the simulation. This course instructs you how to use protothreading to programme Arduinos more effectively. So why postpone? Sign up right now!
