Binary Arithmetic and Port Manipulation © GPL3+

DESCRIPTION

In this tutorial I will cover the basics of binary arithmetic and its practical uses in arduino.

Setting and storing the state of 8 leds, with only one byte of data.

Also covering some of the less known and used bit functions of Arduino, like bitSet, bitClear and some other bit functions.
