BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 27 * @description of the program:
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 28 *
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 29 * This is an example program that shows how to use timer, ticker and interrupts.
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 30 * It uses LPC1768 board leds and a button to show how interrupts, timers and tickers
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 31 * are implemented to toggle leds.
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 32 * A ticker is an interrupt service routine which calls a function at periodic time intervals.
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 33 * There are two tickers in the program. First ticker calls the toggle_led1 function every 100 ms
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 34 * and second ticker calls the toggle_led2 function every 500 ms. A button is connected to show
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 35 * how external interrupts work on the mbed LPC1768. Whenever user pushes the button, it pulls
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 36 * down the pin 18 to 0V and external interrupt occurs at the falling edge of p18. Whenever an external
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 37 * interrupt occurs, it calls the led3_debounced function to toggle led3. Also a timer is used to debounce
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 38 * the button by counting 20 ms. Debounce is required for buttons in order to prevent false readings.
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 39 *
BaserK 0:fe71c302ccbb 40 * @connections: Pull up button with 10k resistor is connected to pin 18.
