3. Basic Usage

NOTE: configUSE_TRACE_FACILITY and configGENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS must be defined as 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.h for this API function task_monitor() to be available.

// 1. Include header:
#include "task_monitor.h"

void app_main(void)
{
    // 2. Start task monitor:
    task_monitor();
}

4. Getting Started

To get started with the ESP32 Task Monitor project, you'll need an ESP32 microcontroller and a host computer running Python. You'll also need to install the ESP-IDF development framework and the required Python packages.

4.1 Clone the project repository:

    git clone https://github.com/VPavlusha/ESP32_Task_Monitor.git

4.2 Build the project:

    cd ESP32_Task_Monitor
    idf.py build

4.3 Flash onto your ESP32 microcontroller:

    idf.py -p PORT [-b BAUD] flash

Replace PORT with your ESP32 board’s serial port name. You can also change the flasher baud rate by replacing BAUD with the baud rate you need. The default baud rate is 460800.

4.4 Monitor the output:

    idf.py -p <PORT> monitor

Do not forget to replace PORT with your serial port name.

More information how to build project: ESP-IDF Programming Guide.

5. Example

This project includes an example that showcases the functionality of the Task Monitor library. This example provides a practical demonstration of how to use the Task Monitor API to monitor tasks in your own applications.
