Summary

In the previous chapters we used several of the built-in peripherals in the SparkFun SAMD21 Mini including the DAC, the Timer/Counter and the EIC (in a worked example). While modern microcontrollers like the SAMD21 have an impressive selection of internal devices, many systems incorporating a microcontroller require peripherals not available internally or may need to communicate with some external computer or system. To handle access to external devices and systems, most microcontrollers support some form of external communications.
