+# TaskManager
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Including Required Headers
+
+```cpp
+#include <functional>  // For std::bind
+#include "TaskManager.h"
+```
+
+### Registering Member Functions
+
+```cpp
+class MyClass {
+public:
+    void myMethod() {
+        Serial.println("My method called");
+    }
+    
+    void methodWithParams(int value, String text) {
+        Serial.printf("Method called with %d and %s\n", value, text.c_str());
+    }
+};
+
+// Create an instance
+MyClass myObject;
+
+// Register member function
+taskManager.registerTask("my_task", 1000, 
+                       std::bind(&MyClass::myMethod, &myObject));
+
+// Register method with parameters
+taskManager.registerTask("param_task", 2000, 
+                       std::bind(&MyClass::methodWithParams, &myObject, 42, "hello"));
+```
+
+### Registering Lambda Functions
+
+```cpp
+// Simple lambda
+taskManager.registerTask("lambda_task", 3000, []() {
+    Serial.println("Lambda executed");
+});
+
+// Lambda with capture
+int counter = 0;
+taskManager.registerTask("counter_task", 4000, [&counter]() {
+    counter++;
+    Serial.printf("Counter: %d\n", counter);
+});
+
+// Lambda that calls multiple methods
+taskManager.registerTask("multi_task", 5000, [&myObject]() {
+    myObject.myMethod();
+    // Do other work...
+});
+```
+
+### Registering Global Functions
+
+```cpp
+void globalFunction() {
+    Serial.println("Global function called");
+}
+
+// Still supported for backward compatibility
+taskManager.registerTask("global_task", 6000, globalFunction);
+```
+
+## Advanced Examples
+
+### Binding to Different Object Types
+
+```cpp
+class NetworkManager {
+public:
+    void sendHeartbeat() { /* ... */ }
+    void checkConnection() { /* ... */ }
+};
+
+class SensorManager {
+public:
+    void readSensors() { /* ... */ }
+    void calibrate() { /* ... */ }
+};
+
+NetworkManager network;
+SensorManager sensors;
+
+// Bind to different objects
+taskManager.registerTask("heartbeat", 1000, 
+                       std::bind(&NetworkManager::sendHeartbeat, &network));
+taskManager.registerTask("sensor_read", 500, 
+                       std::bind(&SensorManager::readSensors, &sensors));
+```
+
+### Using std::placeholders for Complex Binding
+
+```cpp
+#include <functional>
+
+class ConfigManager {
+public:
+    void updateConfig(int interval, bool enabled) {
+        Serial.printf("Updating config: interval=%d, enabled=%d\n", interval, enabled);
+    }
+};
+
+ConfigManager config;
+
+// Use placeholders for complex parameter binding
+using namespace std::placeholders;
+taskManager.registerTask("config_update", 10000, 
+                       std::bind(&ConfigManager::updateConfig, &config, _1, _2));
+```
+
+### Conditional Task Execution
+
+```cpp
+class TaskController {
+public:
+    bool shouldExecute() {
+        return millis() % 10000 < 5000; // Execute only in first 5 seconds of each 10-second cycle
+    }
+    
+    void conditionalTask() {
+        if (shouldExecute()) {
+            Serial.println("Conditional task executed");
+        }
+    }
+};
+
+TaskController controller;
+
+taskManager.registerTask("conditional", 1000, 
+                       std::bind(&TaskController::conditionalTask, &controller));
+```
+
+## Benefits of Using std::bind
+
+1. **Cleaner Code**: No need for wrapper functions
+2. **Direct Binding**: Bind member functions directly to objects
+3. **Parameter Passing**: Easily pass parameters to bound methods
+4. **Lambda Support**: Use lambdas for complex logic
+5. **Type Safety**: Better type checking than function pointers
+6. **Flexibility**: Mix and match different callable types
+
+## Migration from Wrapper Functions
+
+### Before (with wrapper functions):
+```cpp
+void discoverySendTask() { cluster.sendDiscovery(); }
+void discoveryListenTask() { cluster.listenForDiscovery(); }
+
+taskManager.registerTask("discovery_send", interval, discoverySendTask);
+taskManager.registerTask("discovery_listen", interval, discoveryListenTask);
+```
+
+### After (with std::bind):
+```cpp
+taskManager.registerTask("discovery_send", interval, 
+                       std::bind(&ClusterManager::sendDiscovery, &cluster));
+taskManager.registerTask("discovery_listen", interval, 
+                       std::bind(&ClusterManager::listenForDiscovery, &cluster));
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- `std::bind` creates a callable object that may have a small overhead compared to direct function pointers
+- For high-frequency tasks, consider the performance impact
+- The overhead is typically negligible for most embedded applications
+- The TaskManager stores bound functions efficiently in a registry
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- The new `std::bind` support is fully backward compatible
+- Existing code using function pointers will continue to work
+- You can mix both approaches in the same project
+- All existing TaskManager methods remain unchanged
