Serial data received while -in the function may be lost. You should declare as ``volatile`` any -global variables that you modify within the attached function. - -There are a few constraints you should be aware of if you're using -more than one interrupt at a time; the :ref:`external-interrupts` page -has the details. - - -Using Interrupts ----------------- - -Interrupts are useful for making things happen automatically in -microcontroller programs, and can help solve timing problems. A -good task for using an interrupt might be reading a rotary encoder, -or monitoring user input. - - -If you wanted to insure that a program always caught the pulses -from a rotary encoder, never missing a pulse, it would make it very -tricky to write a program to do anything else, because the program -would need to constantly poll the sensor lines for the encoder, in -order to catch pulses when they occurred. Other sensors have a -similar interface dynamic too, such as trying to read a sound -sensor that is trying to catch a click, or an infrared slot sensor -(photo-interrupter) trying to catch a coin drop. In all of these -situations, using an interrupt can free the microcontroller to get -some other work done while not missing the doorbell. - - -Example -------- - -:: - - int maple_led_pin = 13; - volatile int state = LOW; // must declare volatile, since it's - // modified within the blink handler - - void setup() { - pinMode(maple_led_pin, OUTPUT); - attachInterrupt(0, blink, CHANGE); - } - - void loop() { - digitalWrite(maple_led_pin, state); - } - - void blink() { - state = !state; - } - - -Arduino Compatibility ---------------------- - -Most Arduino boards have two external interrupts: numbers 0 (on -digital pin 2) and 1 (on digital pin 3). The Arduino Mega has an -additional four: numbers 2 (pin 21), 3 (pin 20), 4 (pin 19), and 5 -(pin 18).
