How to Interrupt an Arduino Board

Interrupts are an important concept in every microcontroller platform. From executing a totally new function to stopping the whole program, interrupts form an important part, especially when multi functioning gadgets are to be designed.

Demonstrating interrupt’s usage in Arduino is this project where square waves generated work as interrupt. To program this Arduino unit, one needs to connect a computer through USB. For that an additional accessory, USB to TTL logic converter is needed. Adding this doesn’t make the system bulkier at all and hence is not resource wastage.
Invoking an interrupt is not that of a tough task in terms of programming for other micro controllers. However, since Arduino provides a structured approach towards hardware designing makes it easier to test features and model prototypes.
This project is not an application of Arduino but is more of a demonstration of features of the gadget. Arduino pro mini is one of the smallest Arduino board and all the accessories are to be soldered to it. Find out more details about the project at this link:
