Excited for tomorrow's video? We're building the ultimate electronics lab with @digikey so we can build EVEN better projects! #makeitreal | The Hacksmith

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

This week on Maker Update: building your own submarine drone, Qualcomm buys Arduino, an animatronic virtual pet, a Clap Trap that claps back, and a mirror with a message. Maker Project Lab #arduino #drones #ESP32 View on YouTube --> https://bit.ly/4nJzHgn | DigiKey

Follow along as Digi-Key evolves from a small, mail-order company selling leftover electronic parts to an international, full-service online distributor offering over 9.2 million products with investments in future growth. #DigiKey #growth | DigiKey

Time to test your Digi-Key knowledge! What year did Digi-Key begin as a small mail-order company when Dr. Stordahl began selling the leftover parts to a digital electronic keyer kit (the Digi-Keyer)? | DigiKey
