//Creates a single button object, when the button is pressed it gives you
//a LOW(0) value because it works with pull-ups.
Hotboards_buttons btn( PB_4 );
//If your buttons gives you a HIGH(1) value when is pressed, then we need
//to create the button object with and extra parameter:
//Hotboards_buttons btn( PB_4 , 1 ); in any case the functions will return
//a HIGH(1) value any time the button is pressed

//To our example we will use the led on the nucleo board
DigitalOut nucleoLed( LED1 );
