Hello Everyone,

I am currently working on a project controlling a servo motor. As what i've understood Pin 5 and 6 is controlled by Timer 0, Pin 9 and 10 is controlled by Timer 1 and Pin 11 and 3 is controlled by Timer 2.

I understand that if I will change the default settings of timers it will alter the default time value of the board specially in delay applications.

My question is that, If I will configure Timer 0 to attain 50Hz output @ Pin 5 and 6 will Pins 9, 10, 11 and 3 get affected? Will they be still on default values?

I am needing delay application on my project as well as producing 50Hz PWM output, I am pretty much confused in this particular issue. Please help me thanks.


Best Regards,
 

I'm assuming that your using arduino uno. You have got the pin markings correct.
If you configure Timer 0 then Pin 9,10,11 and 3 wont get affected. Other timers will be in a default state.
NOTE: For some basic functions Timer 0 is configured. Do not alter it at any cost. If you alter Timer 0 then basic functions will get affected. So programming would get complex.
What you can do is you can configure timer 1 or timer 2.
