test program for mbed Lab Board

Dependencies:   C12832_lcd LCD_fonts mbed-rtos mbed

Dependents:   Experiment_5

Test program for the mbed application board. It use the mbed rtos to create 5 threads.

Two threads are counting, one setup the contrast with pot 1, one is printing a rotating sinwave and the last prints the actual contrast.
