Any simple example code to show that "attachInterrupt" works?. For example, for external interrupt?

Thank you

For example, my test external interrupt (pin2), program:

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(12,OUTPUT); attachInterrupt(0, encendido, LOW);

}

void loop() {

Serial.println(digitalRead(2)); digitalWrite(12,HIGH); }

void encendido() { digitalWrite(12,LOW); }

It doesn't work, using mpide0022 20110821-test

Thank you

The PIC32 microcontrollers only support rising and falling edge triggering on external interrupts, so only RISING and FALLING are supported by attachInterrupt. When you pass in LOW, the attachInterrupt function just returns without doing anything. The Arduino system doesn't provide any way to return an error in this case.

Here is the sketch I used to test attachInterrupt.

/************************************************************************ ** ExtIntTest - Sketch to Test External Interrupts

** This sketch tests the attachInterrupt and detachInterrupt functions. ** It assumes that pin 3 has been looped back to the external interrupt ** pin to be tested. It generates edges on pin 3 to trigger interrupts. ** The interrupt service routine then blinks the LED to show that it ** has been entered. ** ** Uno32 External Interrupt pins: ** INT0 = 38, INT1 = 2, INT2 = 7, INT3 = 8, INT4 = 35 ** ** Max32 External Interrupt pins: ** INT0 = 3, INT1 = 2, INT2 = 7, INT3 = 21, INT4 = 20 **

Oops... I just noticed that the version of the test I posted doesn't have the correct comment for falling edge interrupts. When doing the falling edge part of the test, the LEDs should blink out of phase with each other.

Dear Gene and Digilent engineer, I'm Chaiwat from INEX; Digilent's Thailand distributor.

My customer complain about Attachinterrupt function not work.

I download latest version (20110822) and try. It also does not work.

They (my local customer) would like to return the board with this issue. They complain abotu Interrupt issue. They told..THIS IS BASIC FUNCTION WHY NOT WORK ? !!! Digilent promote chipKIT is 32-bit Arduino compatible borad. But why does the interruopt function not work ?

Need your help very urgent.

I am losting customer and get the many return board from customer.

This is serious case.

Please advise.

It works on my system and passes my tests.

Can you provide more specific information about how you are trying to use it and what isn't working?

Please advise hardware connection from your interrupt example.

I connect pin 4 (Max32) to pin 21 (INT3) and coonnect LED2 at pin 43 with active low connection.

I upload the code and see operation both condition.

  1. Connect pin 4 to pin 21 1.1 LED1 on pin 13 blink fast and next to blink slow 9 times after that LED2 on pin 43 ON (low) 1.2 LED2 on until LED1 blink fast after that LED2 off 1.3 LED1 blink slow again. wait a moment LED2 on 1.4 Back step 1.2

  2. Remove pin 4 from pin 21 The operation also same. No anyting different

When External interrupt is occur ?

Hi Gene, I think now problem fix. It's my fault. I connect wrong hardware. Now It's ok.

Apologize about my mistake.

No problem. I'm glad it's working. Let me know if you have any other questions or issues.

Dear all,

I am also facing problem in attachInterrupt () function I am using this to read Incremental Rotary Encoder, my program is working properly on Arduino board but when I use same program its not working properly.

If I turn my encoder to clock wise its showing counter increasing, but when I turn in anti clock wise its also showing same increasing count in place of decreasing count, plz do help

hare is my code. /-------------------------------------------------------------/ unsigned long pulse = 500000;

void setup() { Serial.begin (9600); attachInterrupt(0, ai0, RISING); attachInterrupt(1, ai1, RISING); delay(1500); Serial.println(5000000); } void loop() { Serial.println(pulse); delay(150);

} void ai0() {

if (digitalRead(3) == LOW) { pulse++; } else { pulse--; } } void ai1() {

if (digitalRead(2) == LOW) { pulse++; } else { pulse--; } } /---------------------------------------------------/

Which board are you using it with?
