# TinyGo ARM SysTick example
|
||||
|
||||
This example uses the ARM System Timer to blink an LED. The timer fires
|
||||
an interrupt 10 times per second. The interrupt handler toggles the LED on
|
||||
and off.
|
||||
|
||||
Many ARM-based chips have this timer feature. If you run the example and the
|
||||
LED blinks, then you have one.
|
||||
|
||||
The System Timer runs from a cycle counter. The more cycles, the slower the
|
||||
LED will blink. This counter is 24 bits wide, which places an upper bound on
|
||||
the number of cycles, and the slowness of the blinking.
