You stop ticker by attaching it to NULL instead of to some function. You may later re-attach thae same or another function to the same ticker.

Or calling the detach function. I am not actually 100% sure if attaching NULL properly works on a ticker.

Thanks Erik for your help.

However using class ticker member function "detach" only stops calling the function that ticker called. But the ticker timer itself is still running.

a late response...., but
please try following sequence to stop the ticker timer.

flipper.detach();
LPC_TIM3->TC = 0;
flipper.attach(&flip, 2.0);
