Miscellaneous functions

There are few additional utility functions provided that don’t fall under direct hardware support, but that I find myself using often.

Scheduling

Scheduling used to be done in this library, but it has been moved to KASL.

Triggers

Including feather/trigger.h makes the Trigger class available. This class is constructed with a millisecond delta, and its ready method will return true if at least that long has passed since the last call to ready. By default, it will be ready immediately; if a second optional true argument is passed to the constructor, it will require waiting delta milliseconds before being ready for the first time.

The ready method has two forms:

• bool ready() calls ready(millis()).
• bool ready(unsigned long now) allows the same millis value to be reused in multiple places to avoid calling the function multiple times. When the allotted time is up, the trigger will reset to the last update time plus the delta.

Finally, there is a reset method:

• void reset() calls reset(millis()).
• void reset(unsigned long now) resets the trigger to fire next in now + delta milliseconds.

Util

The feather/util.h contains functions that don’t really fit elsewhere:

• void swap_u8(uint8_t &a, uint8_t &b) will swap its arguments.
• void swap_ul(unsigned long &a, unsigned long &b) will swap its arguments.
