ATmega328P Hardware—Timers and Counters

This chapter, and the next, looks at the hardware features of the ATmega328P and links up with the information presented in Chapters 2, 3, and 4. You should, I hope, see how the Arduino Language talks to the hardware described in these chapters. This chapter starts by looking, long and hard, at the facilities of the ATmega’s Timer/counters, while the following chapter delves into the ADC and serial communications hardware, the USART.
