In the video, Shawn gives an example of a race condition and how a mutex can be used to prevent it from happening. He provides a demonstration of using a mutex in FreeRTOS and then issues a challenge to use a mutex to allow parameters to be passed to tasks (note: this is a hack!). #MakerIO #FreeRTOS #mutex #taskscheduling #Arduino #OperatingSystems #ShawnHymel | DigiKey
