Example of an interrupt which passes its job as a thread using signals. "With an RTOS application it is best to design the interrupt service code as a thread within the RTOS and assign it a high priority. While it is possible to run C code in an interrupt service routine (ISR), this is not desirable within an RTOS if the interrupt code is going to run for more than a short period of time. This delays the timer tick and disrupts the RTOS kernel. " - “The Designers Guide to the Cortex-M ProcessorFamily” by Trevor Martin
