In this example I’would like to show you how to write in assembler “blinky” project that uses timer COMPA (Timer/Counter Compare Match A) interrupt. The previous blinky project is very similar to what is presented here, but with one exception – the delay section has been replaced by timer interrupt. In our circuit LED is connected to PB0 and is blinking for roughly every 0.5 of second. The code is on Github, click here.
Parts List
- ATtiny13 – i.e. MBAVR-1 development board
- Resistor – 220Ω, see LED Resistor Calculator
- LED

Software
This code is written in assembler and can be compiled using the avra compiler. More details on how to compile this project is here.
