Library that to count pulses by hardware

1. include "mbed.h"
2. include "HardwarePulseCounter.h"

/ Simple program to measure frequency from external pulse /

/*The PulseCounter instance receives 3 parameters. They are: Timer, GPIO and PIN

• Timer: Can be: TIM2, TIM3, TIM4

• GPIO: Can be: GPIOA, GPIOB, GPIOC, GPIOD

• PIN: Can be: GPIO_PIN_x x is the number of pin. Per example: GPIO_PIN_1 is (PIN 1), GPIO_PIN_2 is (PIN2)
• /

PulseCounter TimerCounter(TIM2, GPIOA, GPIO_PIN_0);

/*Here we have set Timer as TIM2, GPIO as GPIOA, and PIN as Pin(0) > In this case we set PIN PA0 from the board, this is the input pin of the external pulses.

-Each timer has its associated pin, see the documentation to find out.
