- // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // This example shows how to use NewPing's ping_timer method which uses the Timer2 interrupt to get the
- // ping time. The advantage of using this method over the standard ping method is that it permits a more
- // event-driven sketch which allows you to appear to do two things at once. An example would be to ping
- // an ultrasonic sensor for a possible collision while at the same time navigating. This allows a
- // properly developed sketch to multitask. Be aware that because the ping_timer method uses Timer2,
- // other features or libraries that also use Timer2 would be effected. For example, the PWM function on
- // pins 3 & 11 on Arduino Uno (pins 9 and 11 on Arduino Mega) and the Tone library. Note, only the PWM
- // functionality of the pins is lost (as they use Timer2 to do PWM), the pins are still available to use.
- // NOTE: For Teensy/Leonardo (ATmega32U4) the library uses Timer4 instead of Timer2.
