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

Programmable Input/Output (PIO) is a unique feature in the RP2040. It allows users to create custom communication peripherals and drivers that run independently of the main program on the CPU. In this video, Shawn will show you how to create a simple PIO program that toggles the LED on the Raspberry Pi Pico. #ShawnHymel #RaspberryPiPico #debugging #PIO View on YouTube --> https://dky.bz/3vy4Ms3 | DigiKey | Facebook

Shawn Hymel examines why you might use an FPGA over other solutions, such as a microcontroller. Additionally, He presents several examples of FPGA applications and covers the basic design flow for creating a digital design in an FPGA. #ShawnHymel #FPGA #Verilog #Hardware #developmentboard View on YouTube --> https://dky.bz/2YxAQBi | DigiKey
