Arduino Mega portmapping

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hi all,

I've been using the code below on an Arduino Uno, but came accros the problem of memory-shortage. Therefore i'm now switched to an Mega2560, but i'm having some trouble with portmappings.

I can't get the rotary encoder to work now, which obviously has something to do with the port mappings.

I've already tried to uncomment these lines:

  PCICR |= (1 << PCIE0);    // This enables Pin Change Interrupt 0 that covers the Digital input pins of Port B.
  PCMSK0 |= (1 << PCINT0) | (1 << PCINT2);

and simultaniously comment these lines:

//  uint8_t *pcmask=digitalPinToPCMSK(8);
//  PCICR |= (1 << digitalPinToPCICRbit(8) );  
//  *pcmask |= (1 << digitalPinToPCMSKbit(8)) | (1 << digitalPinToPCMSKbit(10) );

But without any result yet

How can i fix this (probably simple) problem?

Thanks in advance!

The code you posted is hard to read and it does not seem to be a full sketch.

The code uses the Pin_Change_Interrupt (PCINT) of an Arduino Uno. I would not try to change that for an Arduino Mega.
All that is needed is that "encoder.tick()" is called for both pins.
You can use a normal interrupt pin and use attachInterrupt() for two interrupt functions that call "encoder.tick()". I assume that you have to use the CHANGE interrupt.

When you must use other pins, then the EnableInterrupt library can use the PCINT pins of an Arduino Mega 2560.

I only wrote about the EnableInterrupt library to show the possibilities. Don't be tempted to make things complicated, so don't use the EnableInterrupt library. Keep it as simple as possible. The Arduino Mega 2560 has 6 normal interrupts.

This is the pinmapping of the Arduino Mega 2560: http://www.pighixxx.com/test/portfolio-items/mega/
