Support pin change interrupts once they're supported in the Arduino AVR core.

[Schtrudel]

AttachInterrupt() is not in the supported list, but pin interrupt is supported by the chip itself. Is it possible to add it?

[damellis]

Access to the pin change interrupts is something that should be added to the Arduino core: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/248. We'd then pick it up for the ATtiny.

[Schtrudel]

What do you mean by "should be added to the Arduino core"? It's part of the Arduino API, isn't it? (At least, it's working for mine :-) )

[NicoHood]

Are you talking about pin interrupts or pin change interrupts?

Hey Schtrudel, what it is working? I cant attach interrupts on my tiny85 :/

Hi eried.

I love these discussions with 3 messages in 3 years... :-) Reminds me of this joke: http://jokesareawesome.com/joke/869

Anyway, I don't remember how I solved it then, but later, I switched to another approach: I don't use attachInterrupt at all and use a few lines with the "native" mechanism. In my case, it detects the change on any of 2 buttons, and I detect which one in the ISR. Quick and dirty, but works very well for my use. Most of it shamelessly copied and adapted from https://bigdanzblog.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/attiny85-wake-from-sleep-on-pin-state-change-code-example/ [Thanks Big Dan] For reference, the relevant parts of the code. I hope it can help. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Hahaha! I was thinking to reply in 1 more year but I am going to forget to do that, so thanks for the code! I´ll use it that way too, it was 3 am and I was very frustrated led debugging the tiny85
