Arduino uses a 32bit counter to provide a millisecond by millisecond timing reference. It is called ‘millis()’, and being 32bit, it overflows at about 4billion in ...

There are several applications at home or industry for long delay timers (ON or OFF delay). Time delays on the order of seconds can be generated using 555 timer circuits, provided the timing capacitor ...

I have been trying to work out how to use the the timers within 8bit AVR processors through the Arduino IDE, but in modes not covered by the IDE. Lots of people have put up code, often two or three ...

The above circuit uses a 555 timer U1 in mono stable mode. If once push button is pressed, it drives pin2 of timer momentarily to ground that triggers the 555 to deliver a high output at pin 3 to ...

Arduino enthusiasts and makers looking for a project to keep them busy over the next couple of weekends might be interested in this Arduino flying start lap timer, which has been featured over on the ...

Electronics designer Patrick Thomas Mitchell has returned once again to Kickstarter to launch his new Raspberry Pi and Arduino programmable timer aptly named the Ninja Counter. The programmable timer ...
