Hello Omar,

I try to test this example but I get compile errors! Do you know what is the problem? Regards, Greger Sernemar

Hello Greger, I used to get these errors when the embassy dependencies in the Cargo.toml weren't pointing at the correct repo and version. Here's what I have:

```
embassy-sync = { version = "0.1.0", git = "github.com/embassy-rs/embassy"}
embassy-executor = { version = "0.1.0", git = "github.com/embassy-rs/embassy", features = ["integrated-timers"] }
embassy-time = { version = "0.1.0", git = "github.com/embassy-rs/embassy", features = ["unstable-traits", "tick-hz-32_768"] }
embassy-stm32 = { version = "0.1.0", git = "github.com/embassy-rs/embassy", features = ["nightly", "unstable-traits", "stm32f429zi", "unstable-pac", "memory-x", "time-driver-any", "exti"]  }
```
