using interrupt - cant back to void loop



  • Hello,

    I'm checking some sensors in some time period:

    void loop()     
    {   
        
    
    unsigned long currentMillis_gas = millis();
    unsigned long currentMillis_temp = millis();
      
    if (currentMillis_temp - previousMillis_temp >= interval) {
    check_temp();
    check_gas();
    check_light();
    previousMillis_temp = currentMillis_temp;
    }
    }
    

    All working fine.

    But i have also PIR sensor.

    To catch PIR status I'm using interrupt

    attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(2), check_pir, CHANGE);
    

    All works fine - except one think.
    When I call function check_pir() using interrupt, program is not able to back (after finishing function check_pir()) to running void loop.

    Its like program jump to check_pir() and stay there for ever....

    Any idea what im doing wrong ?


  • Mod

    @afick would you mond posting the code for the check_pir function? That would help a lot when trying to figure out why it is wrong.

    Also, please use thr auto-format function (ctrl/cmd+T) in the Arduino IDE. That will make the code much easier to read, for yourself and everyone else.



  • check_pir is standard function created from mysensors example (motion)

    void check_pir()
    {
     Serial.println("check  PIR");
        // Read digital motion value
      boolean tripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR) == HIGH; 
            
      Serial.println(tripped);
      send(msg.set(tripped?"1":"0"));  // Send tripped value to gw 
       
    }```

  • Mod

    @afick that code is supposed to be in the loop. It is not supposed to be an interrupt handler. Interrupt handlers can not interact with Serial and they can not call the MySensors send function.

    See the section "About Interrupt Service Routines" at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/attachInterrupt

    @afick please post your whole sketch first, otherwise we won't be able to help.



  • A little bit messy 😆

    @afick Sorry for my request for the full sketch -- for some reason I only saw your first post.
    Anyway, @mfalkvidd is right, you should not access the MySensors library (e.g. send messages) from an interrupt handler. That will certainly mess up things.
    What you could do is set e.g. a flag from the interrupt handler and check in the loop() function if this flag has been set. If so, send a message and clear the flag.

    E.g. (untested):

    static volatile bool pirChanged = false;
    static volatile bool pirTripped;
    
    void check_pir()
    {
      pirTripped = digitalRead(DIGITAL_INPUT_SENSOR) == HIGH;
      pirChanged = true;
    }
    
    void loop()
    {
      // .. your old code ..
    
      if (pirChanged)
      {
        send(msg.set(pirTripped ? "1" : "0"));   // Send tripped value to gw
        pirChanged = false;
      }
    }
