It's driven from interrupts so it should surely just drop the comms and perform the next ISR - effectively a task overrun. ** Although I don't get how Serial.println manages to slow the program down. *Whilst not what I'm confused about - any comments on my logic here also welcome Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency.

These ESP32 Hardware Timers, using Interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking.

I suppose chewing through a few characters at 9600baud probably is quite slow.** This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on ESP32-based (including ESP32S2, ESP32S3 and ESP32C3) boards. It now supports 16 ISR-based timers, while consuming only 1 Hardware Timer.

What's also throwing a spanner in the works is that using serial comms to try and debug the faster task rates seems to slow things down considerably, so I'm inferring the problem by counting up 1ms tasks to call 10,1ms tasks and debugging at the slower level. This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on an Arduino, Adafruit or Sparkfun AVR board, such as Nano, UNO, Mega, Leonardo, YUN, Teensy, Feather32u4, Feather328P, Pro Micro, etc. I've been confused for hours on this but I'm prepared to accept it could be something fundamental/basic! The I2C interface is suggested as this requires only 4 wires from the Arduino board to the LCD the less wires the. The sketch will otherwise be displaying the speed on a normal I2C-interface LCD module. I've done something similar using millis() and whilst that worked I found it inelegant that a) there was no obvious way to check for task overruns and backing-up the execution rate and b) the processor is bunged up by checking millis() every program cycle.*Įssentially what I think should be a 1ms timer interrupt on Timer2 (16MHz/64 prescaler /250 compare register =1000hz) is coming out around 0.5ms. To do this, our example will have the sensor output connected to digital pin 2 as it will trigger an interrupt to calculate the speed. I have written the below sketch as a stab at a rigid framework for executing different fcns at different rates. I have no specific goal here other than learning something that I think would be useful feather to add to my cap! Everything seems to be geared towards timer interrupts which I don't think is quite what I'm after.I'm looking for some assistance please with something that has been confusing me whilst trying to learn timer interrupts I have searched for examples, but haven't really found one that seems appropriate.

I don't really even know how to read the values from tcnt1 though, so I have a ways to go. I am hoping to find a simple way to set up tcnt1 to be 0 with the first interrupt and then count tcnt1 clock cycles until the second interrupt. I think I want to use timer1 since it is 16 bit and my events should be fast enough to be completed before any overflow occurs. I realize that my micros timing is probably getting a bit offset by the interrupts, which may be an issue.Ĭan anyone point me in the right direction? How do we know when the interrupt occurred in sketch When Timer2 overflows, the interrupt vector TIMER2OVF is read by the ATMega328p’s CPU.

put your setup code here, to run once:ĪttachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), ISR1, RISING) ĪttachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(3), ISR2, RISING) Here is an example code where I am trying to use micros() for the timing: volatile int k = 0

I have some code that is functional using the micros() function which has 4 microsecond resolution, and I need better than that.

I would like to be able to count clock cycles at the full 16MHz rate between two rising edge interrupts.

I am new to Arduino programming and trying to use the arduino uno as a high resolution timer.
