Note, when I tested this I had two things in place. If you want to run this example then you too will need:- 1. Your Mbed with an Ethernet jack socket. I used a Cool Components Workshop board: http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=528 2. You will need to import a network stack into your project. The one I used was this one: http://mbed.org/users/segundo/libraries/NetServices/ljhqix What this example shows is the usual "flash some LEDs tasks" and an example of how to setup the time on the Mbed via the attached ethernet/Internet network. I used setting the time as a network example but you could do HTTP requests, etc. The purpose of this example is to show how to use the network stack to do a NON-BLOCKING network call. SimpleScheduler is a coopertive scheduler and that means you should not wait around in task functions. You should complete your tasks as fast as possible so that other scheduled tasks are not blocked from running. However, making network calls generally take some time to complete so are considered "slow" (compared the clock freq of the LPC1768 micro that is!). So to avoid stalling out waiting for a reply our tasks must use NON-BLOCKING calls. This is what this example is for, to demostrate how to make a non-blocking network stack call. */ #include "mbed.h" #include "SimpleScheduler.h" #include "EthernetNetIf.h" #include "HTTPClient.h" #include "NTPClient.h" // Setup a serial port to print the time to.
