is there a list of which io resources are used by the existing api, and which are available for the user.

case in point: i need to be able to access counter/timers for using the capture pins to measure the time between blade tips on a row of blades in a turbine, to determine if there is vibration.

also, if using the above, how does one add the appropriate interrupt handlers.

Hi Robert,

The resource we dedicate to Timer/Timeout/Ticker is Timer 3; it is used as a 1us running timer - the others are all free.

Take a look at http://mbed.org/forum/mbed/topic/383/ for lots more details.

Hope this helps,

Simon
