Introduction¶
mbed is the easiest and fastest way to prototype with ARM microcontrollers. To find out why, take the Tour.
Getting started with mbed¶
- Setup guide - Getting signed up with an mbed account
- Downloading a program - Running a program binary on your mbed microcontroller for the first time
- Creating a program - Creating your own program with the mbed compiler
The mbed library reference¶
Digital I/0¶
- DigitalOut - used to configure and control a digital output pin.
- DigitalIn - used to configure and control a digital input pin.
- DigitalInOut - bi-directional digital pins
- BusIn - read multiple DigitalIn pins as one value
- BusOut - write multiple DigitalIn pins as one value
- BusInOut - read/write multiple DigitalIn pins as one value
- PwmOut - pulse-width modulated output
Analog I/O¶
Networking & Comms¶
- SPI - serial peripheral interface bus
- I2C - communication with I²C devices
- CAN - controller-area network bus
- Ethernet - communicate with an Ethernet network
- Serial - RS-232 communications
Time & Interrupts¶
- Timer - create, start, stop and read a timer
- Timeout - call a function after a specified delay
- Ticker - Repeatedly call a function
- InterruptIn - trigger an event when a digital input pin changes.
Other¶
- LocalFileSystem - read/write the mbed USB disk
Working with the mbed¶
