Multitasking

[dani0716]

Using Prime hub how can I make 2 while loops run at the same time?

from pybricks.tools import multitask, run_task, wait


async def task1():
    while True:
        # do stuff
        ...
        await wait(0)


async def task2():
    while True:
        # do stuff
        ...
        await wait(0)


async def main():
    await multitask(task1(), task2())


run_task(main())

Key point: each loop needs an await ... in it, otherwise it will block anything else from running. The easiest way to do this it to put at least a await wait(0) at the end of the loop. The delay can be longer too if that makes sense for the loop.
