How many times does the setup() ior? | pansyA (sis a particularly important tile because it contains the different configuration information for different Arduino Boards like which compiler toolchain to execute on a particular variant. 28. How many times does the setup() function run on every startup of the Arduino System? a)4 b) 5 cd2 d)1 Answer: d Explanation: The setup() function is used predominantly to configure the pins, variables, Serial data, etc. and is executed only once throughout the entire cycle of the program. However other than the above- mentioned uses, it can also be used to execute technically all aspects of an Arduino program, but since it only runs one time, it’s not very useful for anything other than A configuring.

What is the resolution of the micros() function on the Arduino Nano? a) 7 Microseconds b) 4 Microseconds c) 6 Microseconds d) 2 Microseconds my, Answer: b Explanation: The micros() function gives the up-time of the Arduino program in microseconds. This function has a resolution, i.e. the intervals in which it gives an output. This resolution depends on the Frequency of the specific Arduino Board that its running on. On the Arduino Duemilanove it’s resolution is 4 Microseconds. 46. What is the use of the Interrupt Service Routine in an Arduino? a) To boot up the arduino :
