The converter works in 2 parts:
- First the DC input is transformed to 220V/400VDC with a DC-DC converter based on 
  Timer2  31KHz. Timer2 works with Arduino pins 3 and 11.
- Then the high voltage is cut in a sequence 6x 3.33ms (300Hz x6 = 50Hz) from interrupts set by Timer1, 
  in order to make 3 phases AC sqare signal. Between 2 phases to result is a pseudo sinus signal, enough for a motor.

  PWM mode explanation: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SecretsOfArduinoPWM
  Timer 1 register access from: https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/TimerOne
  SPWM code from: https://github.com/Irev-Dev/Arduino-Atmel-sPWM

remarks:
--------

The _BV(XXX) function sets the XXX bit of whatever register you are working with to one.
It is defined by the following C macro buried somewhere in the libraries used by the compiler:
  #define _BV(bit) (1 << (bit)) 


Arduino Uno pinout
------------------

  A0  ==> AC output rectified voltage sensor

  A4  ==> LCD 1602 SDA
  A5  ==> LCD 1602 SCL
   4  ==> disable: SD pin of IR2184 (AC output driver)
   8  ==> DC to AC phase 1 with IR2184
