//! This example demonstrates some approaches to communicate between tasks in order to orchestrate the state of the system.
//!
//! We demonstrate how to:
//! - use a channel to send messages between tasks, in this case here in order to have one task control the state of the system.
//! - use a signal to terminate a task.
//! - use command channels to send commands to another task.
//! - use different ways to receive messages, from a straightforwar awaiting on one channel to a more complex awaiting on multiple channels.
//!
//! There are more patterns to orchestrate tasks, this is just one example.
//!
//! We will use these tasks to generate example "state information":
//! - a task that generates random numbers in intervals of 60s
//! - a task that generates random numbers in intervals of 30s
//! - a task that generates random numbers in intervals of 90s
//! - a task that notifies about being attached/disattached from usb power
//! - a task that measures vsys voltage in intervals of 30s
