-# Monotonic & spawn_{at/after}
-
-The understanding of time is an important concept in embedded systems, and to be able to run tasks
-based on time is essential. The framework provides the static methods
-`task::spawn_after(/* duration */)` and `task::spawn_at(/* specific time instant */)`.
-`spawn_after` is more commonly used, but in cases where it's needed to have spawns happen
-without drift or to a fixed baseline `spawn_at` is available.
-
-The `#[monotonic]` attribute, applied to a type alias definition, exists to support this.
-This type alias must point to a type which implements the [`rtic_monotonic::Monotonic`] trait.
-This is generally some timer which handles the timing of the system.
-One or more monotonics can coexist in the same system, for example a slow timer that wakes the
-system from sleep and another which purpose is for fine grained scheduling while the
-system is awake.
-
-[`rtic_monotonic::Monotonic`]: https://docs.rs/rtic-monotonic
-
-The attribute has one required parameter and two optional parameters, `binds`, `default` and
-`priority` respectively.
-The required parameter, `binds = InterruptName`, associates an interrupt vector to the timer's
-interrupt, while `default = true` enables a shorthand API when spawning and accessing
-time (`monotonics::now()` vs `monotonics::MyMono::now()`), and `priority` sets the priority
-of the interrupt vector.
-
-> The default `priority` is the **maximum priority** of the system.
-> If your system has a high priority task with tight scheduling requirements,
-> it might be desirable to demote the `monotonic` task to a lower priority
-> to reduce scheduling jitter for the high priority task.
-> This however might introduce jitter and delays into scheduling via the `monotonic`,
-> making it a trade-off.
-
-The monotonics are initialized in `#[init]` and returned within the `init::Monotonic( ... )` tuple.
-This activates the monotonics making it possible to use them.
-
-See the following example:
-
-``` rust
-{{#include ../../../../examples/schedule.rs}}
-```
-
-``` console
-$ cargo run --target thumbv7m-none-eabi --example schedule
-{{#include ../../../../ci/expected/schedule.run}}
-```
-
-A key requirement of a Monotonic is that it must deal gracefully with
-hardware timer overruns.
-
-## Canceling or rescheduling a scheduled task
-
-Tasks spawned using `task::spawn_after` and `task::spawn_at` returns a `SpawnHandle`,
-which allows canceling or rescheduling of the task scheduled to run in the future.
-
-If `cancel` or `reschedule_at`/`reschedule_after` returns an `Err` it means that the operation was
-too late and that the task is already sent for execution. The following example shows this in action:
-
-``` rust
-{{#include ../../../../examples/cancel-reschedule.rs}}
-```
-
-``` console
-$ cargo run --target thumbv7m-none-eabi --example cancel-reschedule
-{{#include ../../../../ci/expected/cancel-reschedule.run}}
-```
