/*
    SimpleScheduler is a cooperative scheduler. What that means is YOU, the
    programmer MUST cooperate with it. SimpleScheduler will call your task
    functions based on the schedule you provide. However, it's not a guarenteed
    scheduled time. It's on a "best effort". However, no tasks are called until
    the currently executing task completes. What that means is your task function
    must return before another task can be called.
    
    Your tasks therefore should execute as fast as possible and return as soon as
    they can. But when Mbed's wait API is used you stall your entire system. This
    example shows how you can wait() in a task without actually waiting at all. In
    order to do this we use the "Ton" (Timer ON) library. You will need to import
    this library into your project to use this example:-
    
    http://mbed.org/users/AjK/libraries/Ton/latest
    
    What follows is basically example1. However, we are going to flash LED1 by 
    "waiting" 1second in the task.
