Hi everyone

I was hoping a veteran here could give me a good detailed tutorial on how to get a background process running on the F407 discovery board. For example, I'd like to get my ADC to gather data at a 2kHz sample rate in the background, while my main() functions do their own thing. I've been doing some researching and it looks like I want to use a timer to control the ADC conversion process, but I'm not sure how to initialize it or if it's even what I want to do? If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
