Thanks for posting! I've really gotten use to just using state machines
with switch/case statements. Each "task" has an input FIFO that other
tasks can dump complete messages into. When the main loop calls a task, it
immediately returns if there is nothing in its input FIFO. If there is
something there, it acts on each message, generally outputting to other
task input FIFOs. Not preemptive, but simple! If needed, priority of a
task can be increased by putting it in the main loop more than once.
