sleep & interrupts

[tomkxy]

No it returns the sleep. But this does not seem to be related to the interrupt triggered. But the interrupts are fired since the counts are correct.

[tomkxy]

So here is the sketch. It is rather larger, since it should drive my weather station.
It is not yet tested. The relevant parts are the loop, the interrupt handler and the rainGaugeTripped(). Note: I have a RTC and thus I know the seconds elapsed even if the Arduino wakes up after a sleep.

I have added to print statements after the sleep.
My expectation would be that the two print statements are executed each time the interrupt was triggered. So an increase in the counter by one each time?

However, the excerpt from the log shows differently. The first statement demonstrates that no triggers happened. Than the next shows 8 triggers, followed by 14 triggers.

/* Ceech board specifics for reference:
It provides power for the circuit and charges the backup single-cell lithium battery while greatly extends battery life. You can monitor the voltages and currents. It has suspend mode, which reduces current consumption to around 40μA. The power source is a small, 5V solar cell. Connections:

analog input A1 on ATmega 328 is /CHRG signal from LTC4067 (indicates fully charged)
analog input A0 on ATmega328 is battery voltage
analog input A2 is solar cell voltage
analog input A6 is input current ( I=V/Rclprog x 1000 )
analog input A7 is battery charge current ( I=V/Rprog x 1000 )
digital output D9 - drive it high to put LTC4067 in SUSPEND mode
All the voltages on analog inputs can be read with an analogRead() command in the Arduino IDE sketch. Those on inputs A0 an A2 represent direct values of the measured voltages divided by 2. The voltages on analog inputs A6 and A7 can be translated to currents. For example:

Let us say that the voltage on A7 is 0.12V. And the trimmer pot on PROG pin is set to 2.5kOhm. This means that the current into the battery equals to 0.12V/2500ohm x 1000, which is 48mA.

voltmeters on both battery and solar cell connections
They are connected to analog inputs A0 and A2 on the ATmega328p. The voltage dividers resistors are equal, so the measured voltage is double the shown voltage.

NRF24l01+ socket
with CE and CSN pins connected to digital pins 7 and 8 ( you use RF24 radio(7, 8); in Arduino code). There is a 4.7uF capacitor connected across Vin and GND of the port

Thats a big sketch :) Nice work.
Atleast in the previous versions you cant use millis() and sleep together - please correct me someone if im wrong.
But i think that millis() is not calculated/accumulated during sleep so when you try to calculate that it might be wrong.

Yes, it is quite a big sketch just stretching memory to its limits.
I am aware that I cannot use millis() with sleep. For that reason, I am using a RTC. The function I am using to is _millis() which is contained in my sketch accessing the RTC. Although I have only second resolution it would be sufficient.

The question I am having is: If the interrupt handler is called 14 times, shouldn't I see the sleep returning 14 times and thus 14 times the series of print statements, each time printing a counter increased by one???

Hi!

Read the thread that @sundberg84 linked to, and especially my post here:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/2436/node-with-interrupt-sleep-and-batteries/14

The interrupt is probably triggering during the ISR, which creates the unexpected counts.

@martinhjelmare I think I do not explain myself properly.

What I observe:

• The counts the ISR produces are correct
• From my observation sleep(60000) does not return on each ISR execution

Basically, I have not a real problem with that. I just do not understand, it seems to be in contradiction with all the threads you guys have pointed me to.

[mfalkvidd]

I think the MySensors sleep code gets awakened, but that code goes back to sleep because you've asked it to sleep based on time only. I think you need to use sleep(int interrupt, int mode, unsigned long ms=0); to achieve the behavior you expect.

[martinhjelmare]

I suggest following both advice from @mfalkvidd and me, i.e. don't use the attachInterrupt function, but check the return value of the mysensors sleep function, and call your ISRs if the interrupt(s) was the cause of the wake-up. See the mysensors API for the sleep function with interrupts.

If you don't have a good reason to use the attachInterrupt function, it's easier and safer to rely on the mysensors sleep and interrupt implementation.

[tomkxy]

@mfalkvidd @martinhjelmare : Thanks a lot for your answers.

How would you implement a rain gauge or anemometer measuring wind speed. Both devices are being triggered by "external" events, thus cannot be polled. I think there is no way around to count those events in interrupts.
If I enable interrupts only during sleep, I guess I will loose events or am I wrong on that?

[martinhjelmare]

I would first go the simpler route and try to both read the pins in the loop and have the interrupts during sleep and test that. If loosing events in the test, I would go for a more complex solution, i.e. not using mysensors sleep but coding that from "scratch" and using attachInterrupt.

Edit: On second thought, I think the second option would be to try and combine mysensors sleep function with interrupt and an attachedInterrupt with ISR. If that doesn't work, I would write a custom sleep function.

If using attachInterrupt, I would detachInterrupt first thing in the ISR, then when the pin state is back to normal attach the interrupt again.
