Timer Functions

Timer functions are used in embedded systems and programming environments to measure
time intervals or trigger actions after specific delays. Below are some commonly used timer
functions:

1. setTimer()

 Purpose: Sets a timer to trigger after a specified delay.

 Syntax: setTimer(timerID, delay)

 Parameters:

o timerID: Unique identifier for the timer.

o delay: Time delay in milliseconds or microseconds.

2. getTimer()

 Purpose: Returns the current value of the timer.

 Syntax: getTimer(timerID)

 Parameters:

o timerID: The unique timer identifier.

3. stopTimer()

 Purpose: Stops the specified timer.

 Syntax: stopTimer(timerID)

 Parameters:

o timerID: The unique timer identifier.

4. restartTimer()

 Purpose: Restarts a previously set timer.

 Syntax: restartTimer(timerID)

 Parameters:

o timerID: The unique timer identifier.

Communication Functions
These functions are essential for enabling communication between systems or devices, such
as UART, SPI, or I2C communication.

1. Serial.begin()

 Purpose: Initializes the serial communication.

 Syntax: Serial.begin(baudRate)

 Parameters:

o baudRate: The baud rate for the serial communication.

2. Serial.print()

 Purpose: Sends data over the serial port.

 Syntax: Serial.print(data)

 Parameters:

o data: The data to send.

3. Serial.read()

 Purpose: Reads incoming data from the serial port.

 Syntax: Serial.read()

 Returns: The next byte of incoming serial data.

4. I2C.write()

 Purpose: Sends data to an I2C device.

 Syntax: I2C.write(deviceAddress, data)

 Parameters:

o deviceAddress: The address of the I2C device.

o data: The data to be sent.

Interrupt Functions

Interrupts are used to respond immediately to certain events, halting the regular program
flow and executing a specific function.

1. attachInterrupt()

 Purpose: Attaches an interrupt handler to a pin.

 Syntax: attachInterrupt(pin, ISR, mode)


 Parameters:

o pin: The pin number.

o ISR: The interrupt service routine to be called.

o mode: Triggering mode (e.g., RISING, FALLING, CHANGE).

2. detachInterrupt()

 Purpose: Detaches the interrupt from a pin.

 Syntax: detachInterrupt(pin)

 Parameters:

o pin: The pin number.

3. interrupts()

 Purpose: Enables interrupts globally.

 Syntax: interrupts()

4. noInterrupts()

 Purpose: Disables interrupts globally.

 Syntax: noInterrupts()

Math Functions

Math functions are used for performing various mathematical operations, such as addition,
subtraction, trigonometry, etc.

1. abs()

 Purpose: Returns the absolute value of a number.

 Syntax: abs(x)

 Parameters:

o x: The number whose absolute value is to be returned.

2. sqrt()

 Purpose: Returns the square root of a number.

 Syntax: sqrt(x)

 Parameters:
o x: The number to find the square root of.

3. pow()

 Purpose: Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second
argument.

 Syntax: pow(base, exponent)

 Parameters:

o base: The base number.

o exponent: The exponent.

4. sin(), cos(), tan()

 Purpose: Trigonometric functions that return the sine, cosine, and tangent of an
angle, respectively.

 Syntax: sin(angle), cos(angle), tan(angle)

 Parameters:

o angle: The angle in radians.
