Moisture Sensor example sketch
-
Hello, I'm an Arduino newbie.
This example sketch has the lines:
#define Digital_Input_Soil_Sensor 3
#define INTERRUPT DIGITAL_INPUT_SOIL_SENSOR-2Looking in the Arduino Reference Help, there is only the interrupts() function.
I get what the 1st line does.
What exactly does this 2nd line in code above do? Does it declare Pin 2 as an interrupt (even though nothing is connected to Pin 2 in the Moisture Sensor build example). Does the MySensor library interpret this line?
Or is it declaring PIN 3 as the interrupt?
I'm getting confused by the "-2"...
Thanks.

Also, since this sketch does not use the Interrputs() and noInterrupts() funtions, does the library take care of handling the interrupt while sleeping? I guess interrupt handling is a bit confusing to me.

Has MySensors 2 been released? Where can I find it and its documentation?

INTERRUPT is used in the gw.sleep line at the end of the sketch.
DIGITAL_INPUT_SOIL_SENSOR-2 is an ugly way to change pin number to i terrupt number. In MySensors 2 this has been changed to use digitalPinToInterrupt() instead.

So in the build example, should the DO pin of the sensor be hooked to D2 of the Arduino? -

No it has not been released. Looks like the target date is early July. The development version is available at https://github.com/mysensors/Arduino

No, D0 on the moisture sensor is connected to D3 on the Arduino. See the wiring instructions: https://www.mysensors.org/build/moisture#wiring-things-up
