How does a pulsein work on an Arduino?

How does a pulsein work on an Arduino?

pulseIn() Description. Reads a pulse (either HIGH or LOW) on a pin. For example, if value is HIGH, pulseIn() waits for the pin to go HIGH, starts timing, then waits for the pin to go LOW and stops timing. Returns the length of the pulse in microseconds or 0 if no complete pulse was received within the timeout.

Can an Arduino be used as a pulse induction detector?

The idea is to use the Arduino as a Pulse Induction detector, like in TPIMD, as the timing idea of the decay curve seems to work pretty well. The problem with Pulse Induction detectors is, that they normally need to different voltage to work. One voltage to power the coil and a separate voltage to deal with the decay curve.

What kind of data can I read from Arduino pulse?

pin: the number of the Arduino pin on which you want to read the pulse. Allowed data types: int. value: type of pulse to read: either HIGH or LOW. Allowed data types: int. timeout (optional): the number of microseconds to wait for the pulse to start; default is one second. Allowed data types: unsigned long.

What is the timeout for Pulse in Arduino?

timeout (optional): the number of microseconds to wait for the pulse to be completed: the function returns 0 if no complete pulse was received within the timeout. Default is one second ( unsigned long ).

What is maximum frequency of digital signal in Arduino Uno?

Maximum frequency of digital signal in Arduino Uno? As Arduino Uno has a 16 MHz oscillator but while running program it has less frequency because some of the processing power is used for running the program. I have used the delay (1) but it is giving me around 500 Hz.

What kind of oscillator does Arduino Uno have?

As Arduino Uno has a 16 MHz oscillator but while running program it has less frequency because some of the processing power is used for running the program.
