hi, i made a small programm wich blink a few seconds go to sleep mode the if waked up blink a few second etc...
that s my code:

Code:

include <avr/sleep.h>
int i=1;
void setup()
{
  pinMode(2, INPUT);
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(2,LOW); //for pull down
}
void call_back()
{}
void f_make_it_sleep()
{
set_sleep_mode(SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN);//set sleep parameters
sleep_enable();
attachInterrupt(0,call_back,RISING);
sleep_mode();
sleep_disable();
detachInterrupt(0);
}
void loop()
{ i++;
  digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
  delay(200);
   digitalWrite(13,LOW);
  delay(200);
  if(i==15)
  {
   i=0;
   digitalWrite(2,LOW); //for pull down again (to be sure)
   f_make_it_sleep();
  }
 
}

it doesn't work neither for CHANGES or FALLING (after inversing pull down by pull up)
But it does work perfectly with LOW and the pull down in pull up...
It's a minipro mega168 5v 16mhz
i have no more ideas...
all the 4 kind of interrupt work perfectly on my uno...

The datasheet for the atmega chip family says that only a LOW interrupt or a pin change interrupt can wake it up from power down mode.

thank s for your reply,
isn't RISING a pin change interrupt?

[Reply #3 on:]

if you put it to sleep,   then your program will stop .

Do you have some external way of signalling the interrupt pin ?  Like a wire with a switch,  or something ?

This may be of some use:

[Reply #5 on:]

is it possible that an external interrupt must be a low interrupt and no other interrupt, to wake it up?

No, a pin change interrupt is a different animal, which the attachInterrupt function doesn't use. However, you can use a pin change interrupt to do the same thing you would do using a RISING interrupt.

Yes if you are using the INT0 or INT1 interrupt (on the Uno), which is what the attachInterrupt function uses. No if you use a pin change interrupt.

what s exactly a pin change interrupt? i think i don't understand this...
i think i am using int0 with attachinterrupt according to my code 
so it should work with rising right?

No it won't, see my earlier replies. For more on pin change interrupts, see http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/PinChangeInt.

i finally get it!!!! thanks for your patience
so you re saying i should use pin change if i absolutely want a rising interrupt?
I gonna try it
one more time thanks

Yes, if you want a rising interrupt to wake up the mcu from power down mode.
