Beginners / Signal Edge (high and low) Validation and Counter - sharing Arduino/C++ Code
« Last post by Andre Laloni on Today at 02:19:30 am »I recently wrote a simple piece of code that could be helpful to others. Note that the code here needs a little customization to be used. I posted a generic version of it to facilitate such customization. Pretty self explanatory, however, please ask questions if needed. Hopefully it helps.
