Results
- Implementing this custom scheduler on the ESP32 results in a more automated, efficient, and flexible system, better suited to the needs of embedded or IoT projects that require precise task management and resource optimization.
Overview
Our dedicated development Team built a custom clone of Cron to act as a task scheduler, allowing us to schedule tasks within the ESP32 platform using ESP-IDF. This was a development project written in C, tailored to the specific needs of the embedded system.
The goal was to create a scheduling system similar to Cron, commonly used in Unix/Linux environments to run tasks at specified times or intervals, but designed to work efficiently within the constraints of the ESP32 microcontroller. The scheduler allows us to automatically trigger tasks at predefined intervals or under specific conditions, which is crucial for embedded systems where consistent, automated operations are needed.
By leveraging the power of the ESP-IDF framework, which provides essential tools and libraries for ESP32 development, we were able to integrate this custom scheduler with other system components, ensuring efficient task execution in a resource-constrained environment. The entire solution was implemented in C, optimizing performance and enabling precise control over hardware resources.
