calling a function (with some argument) attached with rising edge of interruptIn.

  1. include"mbed.h" PwmOut LED(LED1); InterruptIn button(p5); void on(float& dc); void off(); int main() { float dutycycle=0.05; button.fall(&on(dutycycle));/*<====== this instruction shows and error while program is compiled***/ button.rise(&off); /*error is:-Error: Expression must be an lvalue or a function designator in "assignmentq4_main.cpp", Line: 9, Col: 19 */

while(1) {

} } void on(float& dc) { LED=dc; dc=dc+0.05;

} void off() { LED=0; }

Error: Expression must be an lvalue or a function designator in "assignmentq4_main.cpp", Line: 9, Col: 19 the error message shown above comes referring to instruction shown below: button.fall(&on(dutycycle));

Hi Numair,

Unfortunately there is no definition for function callbacks with parameters in InterruptIn rise and fall routines. However you can get your code to work by making duty cycle a global variable.

eg

#include "mbed.h" 
PwmOut LED(LED2); 
InterruptIn button(SW2); 
float dc=0.05; 

void on(); 
void off(); 

int main() { 
    button.fall(on);/*<====== this instruction shows and error while program is compiled***/ 
    button.rise(off); /*error is:-Error: Expression must be an lvalue or a function designator in "assignmentq4_main.cpp", Line: 9, Col: 19 */
    while(1) {

    } 
} 
void on() { 
    LED=dc; dc=dc+0.05;
} 
void off() { LED=0; }

There was a limit not to use dc as global variable. Isn't there any way using class?sir @Michael Bartling
