ADC and Timer Interrupt

Prodigy 190 points

Hi,

I'm a just a beginner on programming. I have confused with ADC and Timer interrupt. I have read through the datasheet and gone through the workshop as well. Is there any other source of video and tutorials  that i can practice?

Thank you. Hope anyone can help:)

    Welcome to the club - know that you are not (alone) in such uncertainty.

    May I suggest KISS?  Doing too much - too soon - is sure to cause such confusion.  (imho - ADC, Timer & Interrupts (now) over-challenges!)

    Interrupts are powerful and useful - but are complex - likely bit "too much" for your early learning/practice.

    GPIO (instead) seems a superior, "First learning" path for most.  (we steer our interns/new hires there, first)  These may fully "escape" interrupt use/involvement.

    We don't know your access to test equipment - thus GPIO may be well observed via Led & single current limiting resistor.  Once you've mastered toggling several GPIOs - you may add Timer based toggling - thus employing your (earlier) GPIO study as a welcome, home-made, "test fixture."

    Suggest that you hold off (for now) on interrupts - they have strict requirements - basic learning (as suggested) will enhance your confidence & ability - better enabling your ability to master them downstream...
