Having some trouble with arduino blink. Will write up here. Draft now, not enough to really be of use to anyone but me.

Origin

I have been messing about with steppers and simple drivers for some time. Recently I put a logic analizer into use and noticed that the switching wave forms were a bit off. Simplifying this I went back to the basic blink and took a look at it. It also had some anomolies. This began an investigation of various blink code and the results. So far I have not found code that gives good results. In this investigation I am focusing on using pulses with half periods of 500 and 5000 micro ( not milli ) seconds.

Test Setup

Logic sniffer is the dangerous prototypes single board device http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Logic_Sniffer_101

Measurement taken using the cursor measurement, finding some good pulses at the beginning and then visually scanning, then measuring for bad pulses later on. All recorded to a spreadsheet, that will be uploaded here.
