In the 8085 microprocessor, an interrupt is a signal that temporarily halts the normal execution of the main program, forcing the microprocessor to execute a special subroutine called an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR). After completing the ISR, the ...

Here’s a real-world pattern: use a hardware timer interrupt to blink an LED at a fixed rate while the main loop keeps doing other work (e.g., reading sensors, talking over serial). I’ll show an Arduino Uno (AVR) version first, then quick notes for ES...

Interrupts are a common feature of embedded systems, allowing the processor to temporarily halt its current task and execute a specific routine in response to an external event. Interrupts can be triggered by a variety of sources, such as a timer, a ...
