This article presents another example of using trait templates to help us not shoot ourselves in the foot with invalid pin assignments. If this means nothing to you please take a look Traits templates 101. If it all looks spookily familiar, perhaps you already read Traits for wake-up pins.

This is a real example from an embedded project I’ve been working on. The goal was to convert a potential run time error into a compile time error. If you haven’t done so already, please take a look at Traits templates 101, which introduces some of the ideas discussed below. The scenario The device isContinue reading “Traits for wake-up pins”
