+Systems built with support for \gls{mTask} often follow the same design
pattern. First the devices are created --- with or without the interaction of
the user --- and they are then connected. When all devices are registered, the
\gls{mTask}-\glspl{Task} can be sent and \gls{iTasks}-\glspl{Task} can be
peripherals. The following program shows a system containing two devices. The
first device --- the sensor --- contains a temperature sensor that measures the
room temperature. The second device --- the actor --- contains a heater,
-connected to the digital pin \CI{D5}. Moreover, this device contains a led to
-indicate whether the heater is on. The following code shows an implementation
-for this. The code fully uses the framework. Note that a little bit of type
-twiddling is required to fully us the result from the \gls{SDS}. This approach
-is still type safe due to the type safety of \CI{Dynamic}s.

+If the user does not want to know where and when an \gls{mTask} is actually
+executed and is just interested in the results, it can lift the \gls{mTask} to
an \gls{iTasks}-\gls{Task}. The function is called with a name, \gls{mTask},
device and interval specification and it will return a \gls{Task} that finishes
if and only if the \gls{mTask} has returned.

The factorial function example from Chapter~\ref{chp:mtaskcont} can then be
-lifted to a real \gls{iTasks}-\gls{mTask} with the following code:

with a red \gls{LED} and a light sensor on it. Moreover, it contains an
\textsc{I2C} chip to communicate. The company producing the chip provides the

\subsubsection{\gls{mTask} Classes}
First, a class has to be devised to store the functionality of the sensor. The
heartbeat sensor updates four values continuously, namely the heartbeat, the
-validity of the reading, the oxygen saturation and the validity of it. For
-every value a function is added to the new \CI{hb} class. Moreover, the
-introduced datatype housing the values should implement the \CI{mTaskType}
-classes. The definition is as follows:
