<h1 at/after="">Monotonic &amp; spawn_</h1>
<p>The understanding of time is an important concept in embedded systems, and to be able to run tasks
based on time is essential. The framework provides the static methods
<code>task::spawn_after(/* duration */)</code> and <code>task::spawn_at(/* specific time instant */)</code>.
<code>spawn_after</code> is more commonly used, but in cases where it's needed to have spawns happen
without drift or to a fixed baseline <code>spawn_at</code> is available.</p>
<p>The <code>#[monotonic]</code> attribute, applied to a type alias definition, exists to support this.
This type alias must point to a type which implements the <a href="https://docs.rs/rtic-monotonic"><code>rtic_monotonic::Monotonic</code></a> trait.
This is generally some timer which handles the timing of the system.
One or more monotonics can coexist in the same system, for example a slow timer that wakes the
system from sleep and another which purpose is for fine grained scheduling while the
system is awake.</p>
<p>The attribute has one required parameter and two optional parameters, <code>binds</code>, <code>default</code> and
<code>priority</code> respectively.
The required parameter, <code>binds = InterruptName</code>, associates an interrupt vector to the timer's
interrupt, while <code>default = true</code> enables a shorthand API when spawning and accessing
time (<code>monotonics::now()</code> vs <code>monotonics::MyMono::now()</code>), and <code>priority</code> sets the priority
of the interrupt vector.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The default <code>priority</code> is the <strong>maximum priority</strong> of the system.
If your system has a high priority task with tight scheduling requirements,
it might be desirable to demote the <code>monotonic</code> task to a lower priority
to reduce scheduling jitter for the high priority task.
This however might introduce jitter and delays into scheduling via the <code>monotonic</code>,
making it a trade-off.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The monotonics are initialized in <code>#[init]</code> and returned within the <code>init::Monotonic( ... )</code> tuple.
This activates the monotonics making it possible to use them.</p>
<p>See the following example:</p>

<p>A key requirement of a Monotonic is that it must deal gracefully with
hardware timer overruns.</p>
<h2 id="canceling-or-rescheduling-a-scheduled-task"><a class="header" href="#canceling-or-rescheduling-a-scheduled-task">Canceling or rescheduling a scheduled task</a></h2>
<p>Tasks spawned using <code>task::spawn_after</code> and <code>task::spawn_at</code> returns a <code>SpawnHandle</code>,
which allows canceling or rescheduling of the task scheduled to run in the future.</p>
<p>If <code>cancel</code> or <code>reschedule_at</code>/<code>reschedule_after</code> returns an <code>Err</code> it means that the operation was
too late and that the task is already sent for execution. The following example shows this in action:</p>
