 How to stop freeRTOS xtask using timer and recreate again when needed? I&amp;#39;m currently want to control the blink interval, for example I want to have the led blink for about 5 sec and would like to stop it and restart when its needed again?

&lt;p&gt;Or you can do this purely using &lt;a href="https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Software-Timer-API-Functions.html"&gt;FreeRTOS API&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
