About Multi sketches

Hi,
I am merge few sketches into a multi-sketch with few tabs, questions here need help please:

  1. what function should not put into class, such as ISR ?

  2. the project designed with Arduino UNO, there are not enough pins for added items, replaced by MEGA2560, seems the ADC totally different? how to modify this? If put some functions at main sketch, how make it relative to its original sketch?

  3. use NANO may be better?

  4. There are 2 internal clamping diodes on the I/O pins in Arduion, does MEGA2560 has it?

Thanks
Adam

See if this helps and answers some of your questions.

  1. No functions should be put into an ISR, it should be short and fast as possible.
  2. You can get 4 pins back by using the I2C module with the display. There are also I/O expanders that will operate on the I2C bus. This may be easier then switching to the MEGA although it is code compatible with a lot more memory. The mega has more bits in the A/D. just shift it right by 2 rolling off the additional bits.
  3. The Nano is the same chip with the two additional A/D pined out.
  4. Almost all CMOS logic devices have 2 internal clamping diodes on the I/O pins, it is there to protect the device.

Adding - the input protection diodes are not supposed to be used in any circuit that would routinely put current through them. It's only a protection scheme. If you need to clamp, you should clamp with external Schottky diodes (and limit the current so it doesn't get pumped into the power supply).

The Atmel 2560 has 10 bit A/D resolution, just like the 328.

Thanks.

  1. Sorry of my English, I mean can I put ISR into a class or not? if put ISR which was in a class into main sketch, how to keep its relation with its original class?
  2. How to modify the code above if use a MEGA2560 replace the Arduino UNO?
