== How can I prevent the thread-mode executor from going to sleep? ==
In some cases you might want to prevent the thread-mode executor from going to sleep, for example when doing so would result in current spikes that reduce analog performance.
As a workaround, you can spawn a task that yields in a loop, preventing the executor from going to sleep. Note that this may increase power consumption.
