What is the main benefit of nesting interrupts?
💡 Hint: Think about why a system needs to respond urgently to certain events.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a system where an ISR handles data acquisition from a sensor, design a nested interrupt system that integrates a dead man’s switch as a higher-priority interrupt to ensure safety.
💡 Hint: Consider what checks are necessary for safety and how data acquisition tasks can be safely interrupted.
Propose a testing strategy to evaluate how effectively your nesting interrupt system handles multiple simultaneous interrupts without errors.
💡 Hint: Think about how you can track what happens to shared resources during testing.
