How to "Multithread" an Arduino via Protothreading to execute more than one task at once without interruption.
Arduino's great, but it isn't simple to handle more than one job at the same moment. If you want to do two (or more) things at different intervals simultaneously, you will need protothreading!
This course teaches you how to coax a single-core Arduino to do three things at once. For example:
- Pulsing a signal without interruption
- Incrementing a variable every second and writing it to the exhibit without interruption
- Displaying different messages every few seconds and writing them to the display without interruption
Welcome to this course.
In this course, you'll learn Protothreading, which is a way of accomplishing what would usually be a multitasking operation (doing two or more things at once or at different intervals) on an Arduino. In other words, it's "multithreaded"! Since the Arduino is a single-core chip, multithreading itself is impossible. So how do we do that? The answer is Protothreading!

Advantages of Protothreading
- Reactive systems – constantly monitoring
- More responsive to user input
- The CPU can handle multiple inputs concurrently
- Can take advantage of parallel processing
- Better memory management
A thread can execute concurrently with other threads within a single process.
