The following four parameters are used to specify the mode: mode: This denotes the triggering action for the interrupt to occur.Whenever the interrupt will occur this function will be called. It is a special kind of function known as the Interrupt Service Routine which takes in no parameters and also returns nothing. ISR: This is the second argument used to set up an interrupt.You can use any of the ESP32 interrupt pins shown in the diagram above, as a parameter inside this function. For example if setting GPIO2 as an interrupt pin the function will be specified as digitalPinToInterrupt(2). The pin denotes the GPIO associated with the pin which will cause an interrupt to occur. digitalPinToInterrupt(pin): This is a function which takes in the GPIO pin of the ESP board as a parameter inside it.The attachInterrupt() function takes in three arguments: We will use the following function to configure an interrupt in Arduino IDE: attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(pin), ISR, mode) In this tutorial, the interrupt will be triggered when the motion will be detected. For example, there is a Touch Interrupt which happens when touch is detected and a GPIO interrupt when a key is pressed down. But there are few tasks that only execute when a special event occurs such as an external trigger signal to the digital input pin of a microcontroller.Īn external interrupt or a ‘hardware interrupt’ is caused by the external hardware module. For example, we want to perform certain tasks and these tasks execute sequentially in your Arduino program. Interrupts are used to handle events that do not happen during the sequential execution of a program. Installing ESP32 library in Arduino IDE and upload code. If your IDE does not have the plugin installed you can visit the link below: Additionally, you also need to install the ESP32 plugin. Thus, you should have the latest version of Arduino IDE. We will use Arduino IDE to program our ESP32 development boards.
