Story

In the first part I covered output of 8 LEDS using one port.

In this tutorial will use the port for input. Reading with one line of command the sate of 8 buttons.

Showing the difference in time it takes to perform this test.

Will also cover cool options of key combination, using the port input value.

I used WOKWI great web Arduino simulator the code from the video is available at https://wokwi.com/arduino/projects/284193979507933709

You can watch Part I here

For WOKWI great article on time counting in Arduino https://blog.wokwi.com/how-to-measure-the-speed-of-arduino-code/
