🎓 [ESP32: Arduino + FreeRTOS]

🚀 Course Title: Mastering Multithreading/Multicore Programming on ESP32 with Arduino and FreeRTOS using VSCode & PlatformIO

🎉 Headline: Unleash the Power of Concurrent Computing with Arduino for ESP32!

Course Overview: Dive into the world of concurrency and multicore programming with this comprehensive course designed for the ESP32 microcontroller. By leveraging the robust capabilities of Arduino libraries alongside the efficiency of FreeRTOS, you'll unlock new levels of performance in your projects. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this course will guide you through every step, from setting up your development environment to mastering multithreaded programming techniques.

🛠️ Getting Started with VSCode & PlatformIO:

• Lecture 1: Set up your development environment with VSCode and the PlatformIO extension. We'll kick off by creating a simple WiFi scanner project to familiarize you with the platform.
• Lecture 2: Explore how to navigate and run projects within VSCode, and compare these processes with the Arduino IDE for a comprehensive understanding of working with ESP32 in different development environments.

🧵 Understanding Arduino for ESP32:

• Lecture 3: Discover the inner workings of an arduino program on the ESP32 and identify the main file that brings everything to life.
• Lecture 4: Write a simple multithreaded program with three threads and understand how task priorities can influence their behavior.

🔗 Task Synchronization & Communication:

• Lecture 5: Learn to synchronize tasks using mutexes, and adapt our previous program to include mutual exclusion for thread synchronization.
• Lecture 6: Dive deeper into task synchronization with semaphores, including binary and counting semaphores, and explore the concept of queues.

🔁 Advanced Synchronization Techniques:

• Lecture 7: Get to know the use of flags and events for task coordination.
• Lecture 8: Connect hardware interrupts with tasks, adding a timer interrupt to your program and learning how to use flags from within interrupts across different cores.

📚 Real-world Applications & Further Exploration:

• After mastering the basics, we'll look at more examples of multithreaded programming with ESP32, applying what you've learned in a practical context.
