SwitchToThread info  Overview  Group


The SwitchToThread function causes the calling thread to yield execution to another thread that is ready to run on the current processor. The operating system selects the thread to yield to.

BOOL SwitchToThread(VOID)
 

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Values

If calling the SwitchToThread function causes the operating system to switch execution to another thread, the return value is nonzero.

If there are no other threads ready to execute, the operating system does not switch execution to another thread, and the return value is zero.

Remarks

The yield of execution is in effect for up to one thread-scheduling time slice. After that, the operating system reschedules execution for the yielding thread. The rescheduling is determined by the priority of the yielding thread and the status of other threads that are available to run.

Note that the yield of execution is limited to the processor of the calling thread. The operating system will not switch execution to another processor, even if that processor is idle or is running a thread of lower priority.

Robotics nuts!

Check out http://users.frii.com/dlc/robotics/projects/botproj.htm from Dennis Clark. This guy ROCKS! He has made (and sells but also releases code, docs, etc...) for a number of cool little robotic modules including whiskers, IR proximity detect and remote control, Sonar proximity detect, PWM, Servo, compass. Most of these use the little PIC 12C508 controller which costs basically nothing and is soooo tiny.
The 4 servos, 2400 baud serial servo controller is a wonder of magic and he sells the programmed chip for $8. Wow!
