Arduino digitalWrite(pin, value)
In case you wonder why the Arduino digital write command is so slow, I present the following exercise in yak shaving: Here is the source code from inside the wiring_digital.c file (I’ve added comments and expanded some of the macros/defines): … Continue reading
Improving the Interrupt Service Routine
From the AVR Libc User Manual: Another solution is to still implement the ISR in C language but take over the compiler’s job of generating the prologue and epilogue. This can be done using the ISR_NAKED attribute to the ISR() … Continue reading
Time the Execution of a Short Piece of Code
For timing short intervals, you can use this timer #1 quick and dirty technique: Clear the timer, start then stop it. Read the value of the counter, it will be in cycles (times prescaler). This is particularly useful for profiling … Continue reading

Arduino, 23K256 SRAM and 74LVC245 Bus Transceiver
As discussed in this post, when interfacing 3.3V devices with a 5V Arduino, the logic level needs to be shifted. Most 3.3V devices will be damaged if operated with 5V signals, while others will simply operate unreliably. The shifting can … Continue reading
