Timers

[Shrikant]

hey…i want to calculate the time duration for which a particular pin remains high or low…duration between the rising and falling edges..!

can it be done using the input capture pin.?? or any other suggestion 

Thank you

Hi Shrikant,

It can be done with an external interrupt pin and timers together, but I guess the Input Capturing is the best method.
