A practical look at GPIO edge detection on Raspberry Pi—when to use sysfs, when to reach for libgpiod, and why debounce behavior changes between Pi 3 and Pi 4.
An architecture note on Arduino external interrupts: the ISR-as-flag pattern, volatile and atomic-read boundaries, operational checks, and the failure modes that should change your design.
When you need exact timing or custom PWM on an Arduino Uno, you’ll likely touch the hardware timers. This post walks through the three timers, shows a concrete example of using Timer1 for a 1 kHz control loop, and explains how to avoid common pitfalls and conflicts with core libraries.
