wait_api functions
[Platform]

Generic wait functions.

These provide simple NOP type wait capabilities.

Example:

 #include "mbed.h"

 DigitalOut heartbeat(LED1);

 int main() {
     while (1) {
         heartbeat = 1;
         wait(0.5);
         heartbeat = 0;
         wait(0.5);
     }
 }

Waits for a number of seconds, with microsecond resolution (within the accuracy of single precision floating point).

Parameters:

s	number of seconds to wait

Note:

If the RTOS is present, this function always spins to get the exact number of microseconds, which potentially affects power (such as preventing deep sleep) and multithread performance. You can avoid it by using Thread::wait().

Waits a number of milliseconds.

Parameters:

ms	the whole number of milliseconds to wait

Note:

If the RTOS is present, this function always spins to get the exact number of microseconds, which potentially affects power (such as preventing deep sleep) and multithread performance. You can avoid it by using Thread::wait().

Waits a number of microseconds.

Parameters:

us	the whole number of microseconds to wait

Note:

If the RTOS is present, this function always spins to get the exact number of microseconds, which potentially affects power (such as preventing deep sleep) and multithread performance.
