  • As far as I can tell, the only additional thing is TIFR2 = bit (OCF2A);. In your code, you stop the timer alltogether. Isn't it cleaner the way I did, where I just disconnect the timer from the interrupt? In my example I do not have to set so many settings each time I want to start the timer. Or is it even desirable to use the overflow timer instead,... would that result in less hastle when starting the timer? Commented Mar 29, 2016 at 6:48
  • btw.: looking at your divisioning of the time axis, and from code, it is clear, that there is a 600us break, not 1ms! Since both timers (timer0 running micros() and timer2) run parallel, it is clear, that the break is 1ms-400us = 600us. Commented Mar 29, 2016 at 7:54

  • Thanks for the additional explanation. I was originally worried about the flag, that was set on compare match, but now I totally agree, that stopping the timer is what I was looking for! Commented Mar 31, 2016 at 12:11
