timers de pulsein? Que yo sepa usa millis() entre flancos o estados de un pin o peor ciclos de reloj de instrucciones determinadas.
Este es el pulsein del IDE 1.0 ha pasado mucha agua bajo el puente pero todos los comentarios indican que trabaja mas o menos igual, no usa timers ni millis() como yo suponía

O sea es algo poco preciso.
Usas micros() y tendras mejor precisión ni hablar con Timers.
