* \section Sec_Dependencies Module Source Dependencies
* The following files must be built with any user project that uses this module:
- * - LUFA/Scheduler/Scheduler.c
+ * - LUFA/Scheduler/Scheduler.c <i>(Makefile source module name: LUFA_SRC_SCHEDULER)</i>
*
* \section Module Description
* Simple round-robbin cooperative scheduler for use in basic projects where non real-time tasks need
*
* For a task to yield it must return, thus each task should have persistent data marked with the static attribute.
*
+ * Each LUFA scheduler task should be written similar to an ISR; it should execute quickly (so that no one task
+ * hogs the processor, preventing another from running before some sort of timeout is exceeded). Unlike normal RTOS
+ * tasks, each LUFA scheduler task is a regular function, and thus must be designed to be called, and designed to
+ * return to the calling scheduler function repeatedly. Data which must be preserved between task calls should be
+ * declared as global or (preferably) as a static local variable inside the task.
+ *
+ * The scheduler consists of a task list, listing all the tasks which can be executed by the scheduler. Once started,
+ * each task is then called one after another, unless the task is stopped by another running task or interrupt.
+ *
* Usage Example:
* \code
* #include <LUFA/Scheduler/Scheduler.h>
*
- * TASK(MyTask1);
- * TASK(MyTask2);
+ * TASK(MyTask1); // Task prototype
+ * TASK(MyTask2); // Task prototype
*
* TASK_LIST
* {
- * { .Task = MyTask1, .TaskStatus = TASK_RUN, .GroupID = 1 },
- * { .Task = MyTask2, .TaskStatus = TASK_RUN, .GroupID = 1 },
+ * { .Task = MyTask1, .TaskStatus = TASK_RUN, .GroupID = 1 },
+ * { .Task = MyTask2, .TaskStatus = TASK_RUN, .GroupID = 1 },
* }
*
* int main(void)
* {
- * Scheduler_Start();
+ * Scheduler_Init();
+ *
+ * // Other initialisation here
+ *
+ * Scheduler_Start();
* }
*
* TASK(MyTask1)
* {
- * // Implementation Here
+ * // Task implementation here
* }
*
* TASK(MyTask2)
* {
- * // Implementation Here
+ * // Task implementation here
* }
* \endcode
*
+ * If desired, the LUFA scheduler <b>does not need to be used</b> in a LUFA powered application. A more conventional
+ * approach to application design can be used, or a proper scheduling RTOS inserted in the place of the LUFA scheduler.
+ * In the case of the former the USB task must be run manually repeatedly to maintain USB communications, and in the
+ * case of the latter a proper RTOS task must be set up to do the same.
