Port Change interrupt library

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi,

In the playground there is a small library to control the port change interrupts. http://arduino.cc/playground/Main/PcInt

I can´t seem to grasp why there is the PCint function definition and the SIGNAL functions. They don´t seem to be necessary?

Is this library usable with the Mega2560?

Regards

I can´t seem to grasp why there is the PCint function definition

Did you miss this:

SIGNAL(PCINT0_vect) {
  PCint(0);
}

and this // common code for isr handler. "port" is the PCINT number. ?

#3

Ok, PCint function is called whenever there is a Port Change interruption triggered to clarify to which port and pin changed and consequently, to define which of the subroutines in PCintFunc array is going to be called.

And now i understand that the SIGNAL function defines that the PCint function is going to be called, when a port change interrupt happens.

Where can i find more info about SIGNAL definitions?

Hi, This does not answer your question, but should help you, the library you are looking at might be out of date, I have used the PCIntChange library which is based on the same work, but is more uptodate, it includes several revisions and bug fixes.

I have a post about the library and how I have used it, these links include a link to the current google code group as well, note, I have not contributed to the library, but consider it very useful and not as well known as it should be -

Hi Duane,

I was reading about your library.

There is no reference to the ATmega2560, does it only supports Atmega 328 ?

Ok

Read the Issues in google code, still doesn´t support Mega 2560.

AWOL can you give me more info about SIGNAL?

Hi,
Just to be clear, its not my library, I just think its very useful and not as well known as it should be.

As for signal, I thought the keyword had been replaced with ISR()

The following are the pin change interrupts from the pinchangeint library -

ISR(PCINT0_vect) {
	PCintPort::curr = portB.portInputReg; // version 1.6
	portB.PCint();
}

ISR(PCINT1_vect) {
	PCintPort::curr = portC.portInputReg; // version 1.6
	portC.PCint();
}

ISR(PCINT2_vect){ 
	PCintPort::curr = portD.portInputReg; // version 1.6
	portD.PCint();
}
