My RTOS



The RTOS scheduler runs these tasks at specific time intervals (for example, every 100 ms or 200 ms). The program reads a push button on pin A4 and an analog input from the ADC, then sends messages between tasks using RTOS message queues (rtos_msg_send, rtos_msg_read). An LCD is also used to display debugging information so the developer can see which tasks are running and what the system is doing.


The central control is implemented using a state machine task (state_machine_rtos_task). This task receives messages from the input tasks and decides what the system should do next based on the current state (STATE_STARTUP → STATE_1 → STATE_2 → STATE_3 → STATE_4).  Which can be seen below 


Record

When the button input is triggered, the state machine moves to the next state and sends commands to the output tasks (output1_rtos_task or output2_rtos_task). These output tasks then process the messages and print information through the serial port and LCD as shown below.

Blog 1 - Igor Kapusniak    About Me My name is Igor Kapusniak, I am currently in my 4th year of studying Applied Computing in S.E.T.U. with a specialisation in Internet of Things and Automotive. My hobbies include running, 3d modelling and 3d printing, and reading books on astronomy/physics.      Bin Bot Project Ideas  Fullness Tracking Track how full the Bin Bot is using ultrasonic sensors and display the information on a dashboard. Audio from the microbit could play when certain fullness thresholds are reached. This could also include automatic notifications when the bin is ready to be emptied. Remote Control Control the Bin Bot remotely from any where using microbits, MQTT, and a dashboard. The Bin Bot could be made to look in a specific direction and make a facial expression using its eyebrows. Text to Speech Implement a text to speech system that allows the Bin Bot to give audio updates or warnings. For example, it could say: I’m almost full, Thank...

 Blog 5 - Bin Bot Project - Davin Barron Introduction The core objective of the Bin Bot project is to develop an intelligent, automated smart bin utilising an MQTT network. During the initial design phases, our primary focus was simply identifying what smart features were technically viable, practical to implement, and well-aligned with the bin's overall functionality. Following plenty of collaborative team discussions, we decided to center Bin Bot around Ireland's deposit return scheme, specifically tailoring the user experience for primary school classrooms. By gamifying the recycling process, our goal is to teach children the vital importance of sustainability through a fun, engaging, and interactive activity. Now that we are in the final sprint, we can really see how the Bin Bot's IoT capabilities are starting to take root and the entire system is finally taking shape. In this blog, I’m going to talk about my specific technical contributions to the project, as well as m...
