Evening all,
Breif outline:
I have been working on a button box project - had it all working but when completely compiled the number of toggle switches caused polling of the rotary encoders to be too slow missing inputs.
the main board is an Arduino Leonardo, attache to which is a DFRobot MCP23017 expander: Gravity: MCP23017 IIC 16 Digital IO Expansion Module Wiki - DFRobot
So on reaching out and doing a bit of research it seems I need to use interrups. I looked at the Adafruit library and now the DFRobot library.
Though I understand in concept what interrupts do, understanding the coding is ,for me, far more complicated so downloaded an example on the DFRobot Wiki. The IO sample code towards the bottom of the page: Gravity: MCP23017 IIC 16 Digital IO Expansion Module Wiki - DFRobot
However I can't seem to find a way of making it work, or rather it half does only reading and reporting change switch states on bank B, absolutely noting on bank A.
I was hoping someone might be able to explain why outside of my lack of knowledge? Many thanks.
