As arduino programmer you have probably used timers and interrupts without even knowing its there, because all the low level hardware stuff is hidden by the arduino api. The first parameter to attachinterrupt is an interrupt number. This library allows to set up the number of microseconds that the timer counts before it asserts an interrupt. We will set our timer register bits and use the timer overflow interrupt to toggle. Both 1 and 3 have well established libraries, for simple implementation, without the need to know the mechanics under the hood, about the registers and such. Timer0 is already set up to generate a millisecond interrupt to update the millisecond counter reported by millis. The next way to use arduino timer interrupt is by comparing the timer count to a specific value. Higher the clock frequency higher will be the processing speed.
