Merge branch 'refactor'
This merges the libmaple refactor work into master. The contents of libmaple proper (/libmaple/) are almost completely incompatible with previous APIs in master. See /docs/source/libmaple/overview.rst for more information on the new design. Wirish incompatibilities are limited to the HardwareTimer class; however, there are several new deprecations, most likely to be removed in 0.1.0.

<lang-pinmode>` its voltage will be set to the corresponding value:
3.3V for ``HIGH``, and 0V (ground) for ``LOW``.
-.. TODO make the following paragraphs true, but refer the reader to
-.. INPUT_PULLUP and INPUT_PULLDOWN:
-
-If the pin is configured as an ``INPUT``, writing a ``HIGH`` value
-with ``digitalWrite()`` will enable an internal pullup resistor.
-Writing ``LOW`` will disable the pullup. The pullup resistor is enough
-to light an LED dimly, so if LEDs appear to work, but very dimly, this
-is a likely cause. The remedy is to set the pin to an output with the
-:ref:`pinMode() <lang-pinmode>` function.
-
-.. note:: Pin 13 is harder to use as an input than the other pins
- because it has an LED and resistor soldered to it in series. If you
- enable its internal pull-up resistor, it will likely hang at around
- 1.1V instead of the expected 3.3V because the onboard LED and
- series resistor pull the voltage level down. If you must use pin 13
- as a digital input, use an external pull-down resistor.
+Because it is soldered to an LED and resistor in series, your board's
+:ref:`BOARD_LED_PIN <lang-board-values-led>` will respond slightly
+more slowly as an output than the other pins.
Example
-------
The following example sets pin 13 to ``HIGH``, makes a one-second-long
delay, sets the pin back to ``LOW``, and delays again, causing a
-blinking pattern::
-
-
- int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
+blinking pattern (you could also use :ref:`lang-toggleled`)::
void setup() {
- pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
+ pinMode(BOARD_LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}
void loop() {
- digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
- delay(1000); // waits for a second
- digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
- delay(1000); // waits for a second
+ digitalWrite(BOARD_LED_PIN, HIGH); // sets the LED on
+ delay(1000); // waits for a second
+ digitalWrite(BOARD_LED_PIN, LOW); // sets the LED off
+ delay(1000); // waits for a second
}
