OOooof. This description is good. If you want great instructions, then watch Ben Eater's channel. There he designed an eight bit computer from scratch. He introduces each concept slowly and sometimes will make an intentional "mistake" along the way.

It's nice how you saved almost half the flash memory space, that's one nice perk of programming in a lower level language. It's just ridiculous how you did not mention literally that it will run much "faster" than Arduino "overhead". All in all, this is an excellent tutorial with zero confusion and explanation about making use of microcontroller registers using the bitwise operators.

The 660 page monstrosity is what enthusiasts read and understood before meta languages and corporations made money making things more high level, easier to understand, and also slower and less efficient. Now you make videos explaining what a register is. Edit: Alright, I was kind of salty. This is a pretty good video that goes into depth and is quite understandable. Have a like.

Another thing I found amazing, was the SPEED increase from doing multiple digital writes to being able to write multiple pins directly at once (as long as they are on the same port letter). It wasn't just "faster" it was Monumentally faster. When dealing with multiplexing Multiple 7 Segment LEDs, the "off segments went from having a ghost of the previous figures to being very sharp.

@10:40 it is a better practice to manipulate the DDR register value by using the OR logic. For example, DDRD = DDRD | B00100000; would be a better practice because digital pins 0 and 1 aren't supposed to be meddled with as they're used for serial communication.

Wait a moment! You are removing the pull-up resistor from PORTD (12:30 - 12:35). You might run into an issue here, making the Arduino unable to recognize that you release the button (input pin stays at 0V). Or am i interpreting this the wrong way? You have to set/clear ONLY the 32's position bit on PORTD when you turn the LED on/off...

What can be slightly confusing to new users, are when you are using IO pins that are not "inline" with the port Pins. Example IO pins 8 thru 13 are PINB 0 thru 5. So instead of defining the Variable as the IO pin you would want to define them as the PINB pins... So for a button hooked to IO pin 8 you would want variable as such const int bnt_pin = 0; Not const int bnt_pin = 8;

@17:00, you spend a bit of time determining the value of a bit. The AND isolates the bit, but that's as far as you need to go. Since it also ensures every other bit is '0', all you need to do is test for non-zero (usually the second fastest test in a microprocessor). i.e. If The shift you use to test for equal to '1' is unnecessary. "HIGH" and "LOW" are typically macros for non-zero and zero, respectively. If that's how the Arduino library defines them, you woudn't even have to change your If statement.

YT channel 'Joop Brokking' posted this project in 2016. Arduino makes code "human readable", in that it makes sense to beginners. The Arduino IDE is great to get acquainted with embedded, I'm 100% stoked its out there, but to make it to the 'real world project level' you have to manipulate registers without the crazy 'Playground' overhead. If you want to be freed from GitHub, you will have to learn to read the data sheets yourself, and not expect others to do the work for you. Bottom line, an ATMega328 costs less than a buck ($1) and you can get 'Blinky' working for less than 1% of the available space using a better IDE.

Hi Shawn, Awesome video, but three details that you skipped over in my opinion, (that are quite important for beginners): 1) the bit-shift to select the bit for ANDing or ORring is evaluated by the compiler while compiling and is not actually shifted by the processor-code in run-time (and therefore is exactly the same byte-code as an explicit 8-bit OR-mask): So _switches_port = switches_port [bitwiseAND] 1
@ShawnHymel
@ShawnHymel 6 жыл бұрын
1) I did not realize that the compiler actually optimizes the shifting operation. Can you tell me how this is done or point to some docs that explain it? 2) AVR uses the _BV() macro to make the code easier to read for shifting operations, which is why I show it at the end of the video. However, it's unique to the architecture/manufacturer, whereas knowing how to bit shift is more universal (which is why I showed it first).

Remember that Arduino isn't a compiler, it's a framework that provides an abstraction layer for dealing with microcontroller functions (think of it like a collection of libraries). If you dig into the Arduino source code and look at the digitalWrite() function (github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/hardware/arduino/avr/cores/arduino/wiring_digital.c ), you'll see that there a lot more checks and pieces of code than just flipping bits in a register. This is what abstraction does--it makes something easier to use at the expense of speed and code size.
@ufohunter3688

I come from the PIC world. Pretty much all the codes are direct register manipulation. digitalWrite() and digitalRead(), are too slow in that world too. TRIS and PORT are data direction and port registers in PICs. TRISA and PORTA are for port A as an example. Also, there is a compiler that Arduino uses. I don't remember the name, maybe avr-g++, but I know its open source.
@ShawnHymel
@ShawnHymel 6 жыл бұрын
Arduino uses whichever compiler is needed for the target microcontroller. If it's an AVR (such as the 328p), then it uses avr-g++. If it's an ARM core, then it might use something like arm-none-eabi-g++.

You are correct in that I did not mention high impedance mode, so thanks catching that. In AVR, high-Z is accomplished by setting the corresponding bits for DDRx and PORTx to 0, which is the same as setting the pin to input with no pull-up. So, while tri-state does exist for AVR, it's also considered an input mode. See section 1.3 in this excerpt from an AVR Primer book: bit.ly/2r2zZa1

He says it's to retain changes made by other things while still changing the bit you want, but I can't comprehend how bit shifting accomplishes this for any case other than this specific function, which is better accomplished by just writing the bit... It sounds like a very good way to accidentally put 1's and 0's where they don't belong and disrupt other functions. WHY? You can just 'OR' it with B00000010
