Code examples

Here are the codes of simple projects detailed during the exercise sessions:

• Blinky
  Just a small assembly code to make a led blink using interrupts from a timer.
• Dimmer
  Assembly code to control the luminosity of an led thanks to a potentiometer. This code uses the PWM module to modulate the luminosity of the led and uses the A/D converter to acquire the output voltage of the potentiometer. The duty cycle of the PWM is changed according to the value of the measured voltage.
