    Which microcontrollers best use multithreading?

    Which microcontroller s best use multithreading?

    It is not a complicated question.

    Want answers backed up by experience and description of experience with this.

    Example if that is necessary:

    One main microcontroller .

    4 different computer controlled motors, each with their own controller which is separate from the main microcontroller .

    The main microcontroller is linked to various sensors and it sends data to the other microcontroller s which they use for etc.

    The main microcontroller uses separate threads for communicating with the others which hopefully overrides sensor communication malfunctions.

    Which microcontroller would be best for the main microcontroller for this multithreading?

    Experienced answers please, no philosophicals please.

    Thanks.

    I suspect the reason you haven't had any reply is lack of definition in the question., so for example

    How is the central microprocessor connected to the 4 motor controllers?

    Do you really need multithreading? Does the microprocessor in question have multiple cores, if doesn't it can only execute 1 thing at a time could you achieve your purpose with a super loop?

    What do you mean by microprocessor? For example would a Raspberry PI Zero do? It certainly has multithreaded support although it isn't really real time out of the box.

    A bit more information about what you are trying to achieve is required.
