Expand description

A count down timer

Note that this is borrowed from embedded-hal 0.2.x and will be in use until the 1.x version provides one.

Contract

  • self.start(count); block!(self.wait()); MUST block for AT LEAST the time specified by count.

Note that the implementer doesn’t necessarily have to be a downcounting timer; it could also be an upcounting timer as long as the above contract is upheld.

Examples

You can use this timer to create delays

use std::time::Duration;
use nb::block;
use linux_embedded_hal::{CountDown, SysTimer};

fn main() {
    let mut led: Led = {
        // ..
    };
    let mut timer = SysTimer::new();

    Led.on();
    timer.start(Duration::from_millis(1000)).unwrap();
    block!(timer.wait()); // blocks for 1 second
    Led.off();
}

Required Methods

Starts a new count down

Non-blockingly “waits” until the count down finishes

Contract
  • If Self: Periodic, the timer will start a new count down right after the last one finishes.
  • Otherwise the behavior of calling wait after the last call returned Ok is UNSPECIFIED. Implementers are suggested to panic on this scenario to signal a programmer error.
