The document discusses implementing interrupts with an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller. It aims to: [1] Blink an array of 4 LEDs with each LED turning on every second; [2] Add a hardware interrupt using a push button; and [3] Add timer interrupts to sample a potentiometer reading every 400ms and toggle an LED every 200ms. It introduces the Arduino Mega 2560 board and its capabilities. It then discusses implementing the LED array, adding a hardware interrupt, and using timer interrupts to meet the sampling and toggling requirements. Challenges in working with the ATmega 2560 microcontroller and limited helpful online resources are also noted.

Sketch:- Learning basics of Arduino mega. Using timer interrupts for task scheduling. Design a project which carries out 3 tasks at specific time intervals.
AIM:-
● Write a simple program to control an array of 4 LED such a way that after every second the next led gets turned on and the previous LED gets off and the loop goes on. ● Implement a push button to generate hardware interrupt and we have to write an ISR to handle interrupt toggle. ● We need to modify our array of LED program to include ISR for timer interrupts and configure one timer for providing delay of 400ms and another delay for providing 200ms. We need to write ISR to sample data of the potentiometer of any pin.
INTRODUCTION
The second task in the journey of ABHIYANTA adventure was to develop an interrupt using ATMEGA 2560. The first part of the task included implementation of ARDUINO MEGA in proteus and also including a hardware interrupt. And the second included Timer interrupt.
ATMEGA 2560
The Arduino MEGA 2560 board is just like a brother of the Arduino UNO board. It is way more powerful than the Arduino UNO and also twice as long from it. This board is the successor of Arduino MEGA. It can be named as ATMega2560. It can have more memory space as compared to other boards of Arduino. Arduino Mega 2560 can have power supply of two voltages i.e. 3.3 V and 5 V. DIVING DEEP INTO THE TASK 2.1
1. ARRAY OF LED
This included the implementation of array of 4 leds in proteus using
the ARDUINO MEGA board. The leds blink at a particular time interval just like we see it in lightings hanging outside the houses during Diwali.
2. HARDWARE INTERRUPT This part included an addition of the push button that acts as hardware interrupt in the circuit of the blinking of array of leds as above.
2.2
➢TIMER INTERRUPT
In this task we had to include ISR for timer interrupts and sample data of potentiometer at a delay of 400ms and toggle the state of led at a delay of 200ms. Also we had to do it while using only single timer.
What is Interrupt ? We have explained interrupt below by attaching handwritten notes. Kindly refer them.
Timer Interrupts :- When you want things to happen at a regular time interval, it can be easy to go for the delay() function. But this just pauses the program for a specific time period which is wasteful especially if you need to do other processing in the meantime. This is where timers and interrupts come in to play. The Arduino UNO has three timers ● Timer0 - An 8 bit timer used by Arduino functions delay(), millis() and micros(). ● Timer1 - A 16 bit timer used by the Servo() library ● Timer2 - An 8 bit timer used by the Tone() library The Mega boards have Timers 3,4,5 which may be used instead In the example that follows, we shall use Timer1 for our interrupt. Obviously, if you are using the Servo Library there will be a conflict, so you should choose another timer.
DIRECTION TO CODE :-
Clear Timer on Compare Match (CTC mode) Generally, compare mode is used for generating periodic event or for generating waveforms. In compare mode, there is one compare register, where we can set value to compare with the Timer / counter register value. Once the compare value matches with timer / counter register value, compare match occurs. This compare match event can be used for waveform generation.
We here use mode 4 i.e CTC with the TOP reference value equal to the OCRnA value. So for that we need to find the required bits in which particular sub register is this bit allowed. So we need to take a look at description of the individual registers.
CHALLENGES FACED This task as compared to the previous one was quite difficult. In this task we learnt many new things like reading the datasheets of the ATMEGA 2560 and knowing about various parts of the circuit. The internet sources also were not that much helpful this time we were just on our own.
