Bits 7:0 – TCNT2[7:0] Timer/Counter 2 Counter Value

The Timer/Counter register gives direct access, both for read and write operations, to the Timer/Counter unit 8-bit counter. Writing to the TCNT2 register blocks (removes) the compare match on the following timer clock. Modifying the counter (TCNT2) while the counter is running, introduces a risk of missing a compare match between TCNT2 and the OCR2x registers.
