How can one use the timers on nrf51

[rnestler]

I see there are two timers implemented in https://github.com/Nemo157/embrio-rs/tree/master/embrio-nrf51/src/timer. But as far as I can see they aren't used anywhere?
How is one supposed to use them?

Good question, I used these in an internal project before adding in the EmbrioNrf51 abstraction. So you can use them something like

let timer = Timer::timer0(peripherals.TIMER0);
timer.timeout(time).await?;

but that requires bypassing EmbrioNrf51 and getting the Peripherals directly to initialize the different components.

It'd probably be good to add these into EmbrioNrf51 and the example (though that might require changing how they work to support just borrowing the timer instance).
