Electronics on the kitchen table

Today, short post about deceiving software. Remember when last time, I said I had to do optmizations on my code ? Well I tried. And it went worse than I expected ! First, I tried to gather similar codes in some tasks, but it came out they were too heavy for FreeRTOS to handle them correctly, resulting in heap panic... So trying to enhance my code, I worsen it ! So I hard to roll it back. Then, I tried to implement real mutexes for some resources that are shared among the tasks, in particular the screen (and maybe the UART one day, but I can manage to use it only in one task, if I split it in several functions). When I though I understood it and implemented it correctly, it turned out to make the STM32 crash at bootup, and being non recognizable by my PC anymore ! So again, I had to rollback to the previous version. I'm still trying to figure out how to re-design my code, while keeping it runnable on that picky Blue Pill. You can FINALLY find my code on Github ! I suggest
