Detailed Description

A Timeout is used to call a function at a point in the future.

You can use as many separate Timeout objects as you require.

Note
Synchronization level: Interrupt safe

Example:

// Blink until timeout.
#include "mbed.h"
Timeout timeout;
DigitalOut led(LED1);
int on = 1;
void attimeout() {
on = 0;
}
int main() {
timeout.attach(&attimeout, 5);
while(on) {
led = !led;
ThisThread::sleep_for(200);
}
}

Member Function Documentation

MBED_FORCEINLINE void attach ( F &&  func,
float  t 
)
inherited

Attach a function to be called by the Ticker, specifying the interval in seconds.

The method forwards its arguments to attach_us() rather than copying them which may not be trivial depending on the callback copied. The function is forcibly inlined to not use floating-point operations. This is possible given attach_us() expects an integer value for the callback interval.

Parameters
funcpointer to the function to be called
tthe time between calls in seconds
Deprecated:
Pass a chrono duration, not a float second count. For example use 10ms rather than 0.01f.

Definition at line 92 of file Ticker.h.

void attach ( Callback< void()>  func,
std::chrono::microseconds  t 
)
inherited

Attach a function to be called by the Ticker, specifying the interval in microseconds.

Parameters
funcpointer to the function to be called
tthe time between calls in micro-seconds
Note
setting t to a value shorter than it takes to process the ticker callback causes the system to hang. Ticker callback is called constantly with no time for threads scheduling.
void attach_us ( Callback< void()>  func,
us_timestamp_t  t 
)
inherited

Attach a function to be called by the Ticker, specifying the interval in microseconds.

Parameters
funcpointer to the function to be called
tthe time between calls in micro-seconds
Note
setting t to a value shorter than it takes to process the ticker callback causes the system to hang. Ticker callback is called constantly with no time for threads scheduling.
Deprecated:
Pass a chrono duration, not an integer microsecond count. For example use 10ms rather than 10000.
void detach ( )
inherited

Detach the function.

std::chrono::microseconds remaining_time ( ) const

Return time remaining until callback.

Returns
time remaining until callback is due
Note
if the callback is overdue, or has already run, the returned value will be negative
