EVENT module
In programming, multiple threads can communicate with each other by signaling events and handling events. An event, then, is like a message from one thread to another threads.
An event can be used for:
-
Report from one thread to another that something important has happened.
Example: In a home automation application, a thread may be monitoring the presence of fire. If fire is detected the thread generates an alarm event to 4 threads:
- Thread 1: establish a communication with firefighters to give the warning.
- Thread 2: turn on an acoustic alarm.
- Thread 3: activate a series of actuators to try to extinguish the fire.
-
Synchronize a thread with another.

Lua RTOS is free for you, but funds are required to make this possible. Feel free to donate as little or as much as you wish. Every donation is very much appreciated.
