Scheduling Random Tasks with the Schedule Library

Code introduction


The function uses the Schedule library's every and repeat methods to schedule a task to be executed at regular intervals. It runs all scheduled tasks using the run_pending() method and then waits for the next task to execute using the sleep method.
