+/*  THIS PROGRAM IS WRITTEN FOR THE FRDM-Kl25Z BUT CAN BE ADAPTED TO ANY MBED BOARD
+    
+    To use this program you need to add a bit of hardware: A single wire from "D1" to "D3." 
+    
+    
+    Here's how it works: The PWN, the interrupt, and the LED are all set up with the first three lines.
+    
+    Next, a one-line function is defined to toggle the blue LED.
+    
+    The program enters the main() program area and makes sure the blue light is turned off.
+    Yep, on this system apparently '1' means OFF and '0' means 'ON.'
+    
+    Next, the PWM parameters are set followed by the interrupt parameters
+    
+    Then, the program enters an endless while() loop with nothing in it.
+    
+    Upon reset, the PWM begins sending a steady pulse out of the PTD5 pin
+    
+    If PTD5 pulses "high" and is connected to the PTD3 pin then it triggers an interrupt which directs
+    program control to the toggler() function which toggles the blue LED, (it turns it 'ON' if it is already 'OFF'
+    or turns it 'OFF' if it is already 'ON.')
+    
+    After returning from the interrupt handling routine, toggler(), the program returns to the while() loop
+    to await the next interrupt.
+    
+    Experiment with removing the wire from PTD5 and connecting the free end to ground.
+    
+    Try changing the LED DigitalOut assignment from PTD1 to PTB19 or PTB18.
+    
+    Look up the functions and fiddle around with the PWM parameters.
+    
+    BTW, "PT" as in "PTB19" or "PTD3" stands for "PORT."  And the "D" or "B" stands for Port D or Port B.
+    The number after it is its pin number in the port.  So, PTB18 means Port B pin #18.
