---- README -------------------------------------------------------------------- PinChangeInt README. Find instructions and more information at https://github.com/GreyGnome/PinChangeInt/wiki NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE This library is deprecated as of April 3, 2015. This means that I will be providing bug fixes for some time, but users are encouraged to migrate to the EnableInterrupt library, at https://github.com/GreyGnome/EnableInterrupt . It is faster and easier to use. Thank you. ---- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the PinChangeInt library for the Arduino. It provides an extension to the interrupt support for ATmega328 and ATmega2560-based Arduinos, and some ATmega32u4 and Sanguinos. It adds pin change interrupts, giving a way for users to have interrupts drive off of any pin (ATmega328-based Arduinos), by the Port B, J, and K pins on the Arduino Mega and its ilk, and on the appropriate ports (including Port A) on the Sanguino and its ilk. Yun and Sanguino support are weak, quite honestly, as I don't have either a Sanguino or a Yun. Theoretically the library would work with a Leonardo but I have no reports regarding that platform. The ATmega32u4 has port B (8 pins) pin change interrupts only. For more information refer to avr-gcc header files, Arduino source and Atmega datasheet. This library was inspired by and derived from Chris J. Kiick's PCInt Arduino Playground example here: http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/PcInt The following pins are usable PinChangeInt pins on the Mega (ATmega1280 and ATmega2560-based Arduinos**): Arduino Arduino Arduino Pin* PORT PCINT Pin PORT PCINT Pin PORT PCINT A8 PK0 16 10 PB4 4 SS PB0 0 A9 PK1 17 11 PB5 5 SCK PB1 1 A10 PK2 18 12 PB6 6 MOSI PB2 2 A11 PK3 19 13 PB7 7** MISO PB3 3 A12 PK4 20 14 PJ1 10 A13 PK5 21 15 PJ0 9 A14 PK6 22 A15 PK7 23 ...indeed, the ATmega2560 chip supports many more Pin Change Interrupt pins but they are unavailable on the Arduino, unless you want to solder teeny tiny wires. * Note: Arduino Pin 0 is PE0 (PCINT8), which is RX0 and thus is not supported by this library. It is the same pin the Arduino uses to upload sketches, and they are connected to the FT232RL USB-to-Serial chip (ATmega16U2 on the R3). ** On the MegaADK, according to http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMegaADK: "USB Host: MAX3421E. The MAX3421E comunicate with Arduino with the SPI bus. So it uses the following pins: Digital: 7 (RST), 50 (MISO), 51 (MOSI), 52 (SCK). NB: Please do not use Digital pin 7 as input or output because is used in the comunication (sic) with MAX3421E " ---- LICENSE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Licensed under the Apache2.0 license.

Kiick, Robot builder and all around geek, who said of it, "Hi, Yeah, I wrote the original PCint library. It was a bit of a hack and the new one has better features. I intended the code to be freely usable. Didn't really think about a license. Feel free to use it in your code: I hereby grant you permission." Thanks, Chris! A hack? I dare say not, if I have taken this any further it's merely by standing on the shoulders of giants. This library was the best "tutorial" I found on Arduino Pin Change Interrupts and because of that I decided to continue to maintain and (hopefully) improve it. We, the Arduino community of robot builders and geeks, owe you a great debt of gratitude for your hack- a hack in the finest sense. The library was then picked up by Lex Talionis, who created the Google Code website. We all owe a debt of thanks to Lex, too, for all his hard work! He is currently the other official maintainer of this code. Many thanks to all the contributors who have contributed bug fixes, code, and suggestions to this project: John Boiles and Baziki (who added fixes to PcInt), Maurice Beelen, nms277, Akesson Karlpetter, and Orly Andico for various fixes to this code, Rob Tillaart for some excellent code reviews and nice optimizations, Andre' Franken for a good bug report that kept me thinking, cserveny.tamas a special shout out for providing the MEGA code to PinChangeInt, and Pat O'Brien for testing and reporting on the Arduino Yun.- Thanks! A HUGE thanks to JRHelbert for fixing the PJ0 and PJ1 interrupt PCMSK1 issue on the Mega... 06/2014 A HUGE thanks to Jan Baeyens ("jantje"), who has graciously DONATED an Arduino Mega ADK to the PinChangeInt project!!! Wow, thanks Jan! This makes the 2560-based Arduino Mega a first class supported platform- I will be able to test it and verify that it works. Finally, a shout out to Leonard Bernstein. I was inspired by him (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=R9g3Q-qvtss#t=1160) from a Ted talk by Itay Talgam. None of the contributors, myself included, has any interest in making money from this library and so I decided to free up the code as much as possible for any purpose. ...But! You must give credit where credit is due (it's not only a nice idea, it's the law- as in, the license terms)! "If you love something, give it away." If apologize if I have forgotten anyone here. Please let me know if so.
