Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Considering a mock system where a sensor triggers an interrupt for data processing, describe how to implement this using an ISR. Include the requirements for the sensor and other settings.

💡 Hint: Focus on both establishing the interrupt and managing the data within the ISR.

Question 2

You have a microcontroller setup that handles multiple timer interrupts for controlling different devices. How would you prioritize these interrupts using the IP register? What considerations would go into your priority assignments?

💡 Hint: Think about what tasks are most critical and why they need faster responses.
