|

In general, either of these approaches will work. The main differences of these approaches are:
|
||||
|
||||
When using **separate tasks**, each task needs its own RAM allocation, so there's a little overhead for each task, so one task that does three things will likely be a little bit smaller than three tasks that do one thing (not a lot, probably a couple dozen bytes). In contrast, with **multiple futures in one task**, you don't need multiple task allocations, and it will generally be easier to share data, or use borrowed resources, inside of a single task.

|
||||
But when it comes to "waking" tasks, for example when a data transfer is complete or a button is pressed, it's faster to wake a dedicated task, because that task does not need to check which future is actually ready. `join` and `select` must check ALL of the futures they are managing to see which one (or which ones) are ready to do more work. This is because all Rust executors (like Embassy or Tokio) only have the ability to wake tasks, not specific futures. This means you will use slightly less CPU time juggling futures when using dedicated tasks.

This example replaces the Mutex with a Channel, and uses another task (the main loop) to drive the LED. The advantage of this approach is that only a single task references the peripheral, separating concerns. However, using a Mutex has a lower overhead and might be necessary if you need to ensure
|
||||
that the operation is completed before continuing to do other work in your task.

//! This example shows some common strategies for sharing resources between tasks.
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! We demonstrate five different ways of sharing, covering different use cases:
|
||||
//! - Atomics: This method is used for simple values, such as bool and u8..u32
|
||||
//! - Blocking Mutex: This is used for sharing non-async things, using Cell/RefCell for interior mutability.
|
||||
//! - Async Mutex: This is used for sharing async resources, where you need to hold the lock across await points.
|
||||
//! The async Mutex has interior mutability built-in, so no RefCell is needed.
|
||||
//! - Cell: For sharing Copy types between tasks running on the same executor.
|
||||
//! - RefCell: When you want &mut access to a value shared between tasks running on the same executor.

||||
