+/** FPointer - Adds callbacks that take and return a 32bit uint32_t data type.
+ *
+ * The Mbed library supplies a callback using the FunctionPointer object as 
+ * defined in FunctionPointer.h  However, this callback system does not allow
+ * the caller to pass a value to the callback. Likewise, the callback itself
+ * cannot return a value.
+ *
+ * FPointer operates in the same way but allows the callback function to be
+ * passed one arg, a uint32_t value. Additionally, the callback can return
+ * a single uint32_t value. The reason for using uint32_t is that the Mbed
+ * and the microcontroller (LPC1768) have a natural data size of 32bits and
+ * this means we can use the uint32_t as a pointer. See example1.h for more
+ * information. This example passes an "int" by passing a pointer to that
+ * int as a 32bit value. Using this technique you can pass any value you like.
+ * All you have to do is pass a pointer to your value cast to (uint32_t). Your
+ * callback can the deference it to get the original value.
+ *
+ * example2.h shows how to do the same thing but demostrates how to specify
+ * the callback into a class object/method.
+ *
+ * Finally, example3.h shows how to pass multiple values. In this example we
+ * define a data structure and in the callback we pass a pointer to that
+ * data structure thus allowing the callback to again get the values.
+ *
+ * Note, when passing pointers to variables to the callback, if the callback
+ * function/method changes that variable's value then it will also change the
+ * value the caller sees. If C pointers are new to you, you are strongly
+ * advised to read up on the subject. It's pointers that often get beginners
+ * into trouble when mis-used.
+ *
