Workarounds
and Tricks

29. ● When running short of Digital pins
Use analog pins as digital pins by referring
them with special pin numbers
● To speed up execution / save memory
Use bit manipulation
29

30. digitalWrite(4,HIGH)
PORTD |=(1<<4)
digitalWrite(4,LOW)
PORTD &= ~(1<<4)

31. Taking it further:
● Use attached Learning and
Reference docs
● No hardware? - Use simulation
