I hope you took away lots from this video and you managed to understand how interrupts work. Let me know below! PS. WANT TO LEARN CODING? CHECK MY NEW UA-cam CHANNEL! bit.ly/3tku2n0
Please ! How can I use this one push button to turn on and off the whole system ,example inverter control board to turn on when pressed and also when off ?? Please help
Best explanation of interrupts I've heard. It's a well-done video with easy-to-follow instructions. I must admit I had to back up and turn on subtitles on in certain sections. I've worked with Arduinos for a while now and never heard the term "distal pin" before. After turning on subtitles I realized it was "digital pin" and suddenly everything made sense. 😄How is this the first time I've heard this guy? Now I have to check the rest of his videos. Good bye productive afternoon! lol
I've always had a hard time understanding how to use and program interrupts. Best description of interrupts I have seen yet. Simple and elegant. Thanks.
To show the true power of interrupts write a loop to blink an LED once per second. Then use the same code using the sensor to turn a second LED on or off by interrupt as you have done here. The demonstration will show how you can do two things at once using interrupts! Please show this on a future video. Thanks for all your good work! I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Your pace and explanations are outstanding!
Thank you for the great video. For the second PIR motion detect example, it can be simplified by using only one interrupt (digital pin 2) to control the led on/off. The following modified code works very well: #include "LowPower.h" #define PIRmotion 2 #define LedPin 13 void setup() { pinMode(LedPin,OUTPUT); pinMode(PIRmotion,INPUT); attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(PIRmotion),OutputLED,CHANGE); } void loop() { LowPower.powerDown(SLEEP_FOREVER , ADC_OFF, BOD_OFF); } void OutputLED(){ digitalWrite(LedPin,digitalRead(PIRmotion)); }
I am taking your tuition seriously. I am creating a control algorithm for an Arduino Nano that has two hardware interrupts(input from Photo_interrupter, and input from Photo Beam detector parallel with a Push_Button switch) 2 Software Interrupts(Counter resets). Thank you for the clear explanations.
Thanks for this explanation. I successfully built an NES controller using an ESP32 that will mimic an 8-Bit shift register. It works on an actual Orgina Nintendo console.😀
Thank you. I’m working on my first project that is battery powered and was looking for a good way to save power. This is exactly what the doctor ordered.
This is a fantastic video. Very clear and easy to follow. The pace of your teaching was perfect and the graphic illustrations some of the best to make this understandable. I will apply this technique to a water alarm I have planned. I want the moisture sensor to wake up the arduino and send an alarm via wifi or sms. Thank you!
By far the best tutorial on interrupts I have seen & I have watched & read very many. Thank you so much for sharing this which is an extraordinary useful assistance to me.
Just a little notice at the end part that you could have only used one interrupt on CHANGE mode and if the state of the interrupt pin is high, turn it on. If low, turn it off. It's a good idea to try and save the use of interrupt pins as much as possible, especially on an Uno.
After reading this (www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/DigitalPins): Often it is useful to steer an input pin to a known state if no input is present. This can be done by adding a pullup resistor (to +5V), or a pulldown resistor (resistor to ground) on the input. A 10K resistor is a good value for a pullup or pulldown resistor. I attached a 1K restistor from sensor to GND which gave an accurate result.
I have used timer interrupts but not hardware interrupts. The hardware interrupts are much easier and more useful. With this video there is no reason not to use them. Thank you.
I was working on a project of an arduino smartwatch with Nokia 5110 lcd, and this interrupt function would really help in controlling the backlight. Cheers!
Nice video I could have done with it 30 years ago when I learned Assembler coding and then swapped to C cross compiler.But this was most informative for the nubbie. Helped me for the Arduino which is a nice IDE.
Fast, simple clear and yummy mind PERFECT, This is exactly what I needed to know, not a huge monolithic project, but a simple Arduino is asleep Interrupted - Do action Go back to sleep Perfect 👍
Grate job! Keep going. Interrupt have an 2 other triggers. The Change and the low. Some models also have the hi. You can do your project using only 1 input and look for change of input state.
I recently learned to use interrupts when learning to program ATmel controllers without the help of an Arduino. It's good to see now how to use them with the Arduino.
That's another great video but may I suggest the use of digitalPinToInterrupt(pin) for the first argument to attachInterrupt for portability? It's a different story for the Arduino Due though. The pin and interrupt numbers are the same.
Great video!! Quite informative! I knew how interrupts work I just never knew how to incorporate the knowledge into the Arduino! :-) I love your explanation comparing it to the mailbox and watching every 10 minutes that definitely sounds like me when I'm expecting hardware!! :-)
μπράβο ρε φιλέ... πολύ δουλειά είχε αυτό το βίντεο!!! πρέπει να σου πήρε εβδομαδα.. με το μονταζ, σπικαζ,κτλ σε ευχαριστουμε που μοιραζεσαι τις γνώσεις σου δωρεάν!
thats great I am building a project and I was going to look into this interrupts. I was watching your weather station project just to get the low power mode(i building an automatic cloth dryer for home) and then i needed to turn tha arduino on and of and there it is
yes you can also use INT to be a counter, a water flow meter with a hall effect, or a RPM of a speed of a fan or motor, a IR car counter,,,, many many uses, Thanks for your good video's
Love the video as always I found it very interesting but what if when the button pressed it starts a timer to run as a one shot for 30 seconds then goes off until the next button press
Hello, great tutorial. I'm having a lot of trouble with accidental triggers. It will probably get better when I solder the circuit together so I'm not using the flimsy female/male connectors, but I would like to implement a solution in the code as well. Is there a way to only trigger it when the button is held down for a second?
Thank you for sharing your knowlage, great video. Only one thing is missing, you should add the schematics this way it will be much more clearer, again thanks have nice day
at 7:57 Just one question, where did you defined these 10 seconds or this is "hardcoded" in your sensor to keep 10 seconds HIGH after motion was detected? Thanks
Urgh, I was trying to run a program in the interrupts. Thanks for this timeless tutorial, I am now just setting flags and everything works as expected.
Why do you use 2 input pins for the single sensor output? The state will be the same on both pins and it will never send different states at the same time?
So, no de-bounce circuit needed in the first example? I'm trying to put together a device which I want to use two buttons to activate different ISRs. However, everything I have read indicates I will have trouble with the ISR firing multiple times with a button switch. Can you give some advice on this? Thanks for all your video's too!
AH! This video is terrific. I've been looking for a tutorial that combines both interrupts and sleep modes and this code is so easy and streamlined. Question though, without using a delay, how did you get the motion sensor to wait 10 seconds? Is that just the built in functionality of the sensor? Thanks for the great video.
Only comment I have, is it would be good to explain/clarify why you wire the digital output of the sensor to TWO digital pins of the Arduino (as opposed detecting and handling BOTH events within the interrupt routine [with the CHANGE parameter to trigger on EITHER sensor state changes]).
Is the button in the first example a momentary button? If so, why doesn’t the led only stay on during the short time you press it but instead it stays on until you press it again?
i want to use these interrupts as a counter for fast moving objects. like seed counter. but i need to know which sensor will be most useful to detect the small grain sized particle to trigger the sensor and cause interrupt.
Thanks for the great video. I have a questions - why do you use 2 pins for the 2 interrupts. Is it not possible to use the same pin, one when it goes HIGH and the other when it goes LOW? Appreciate your help.
I was reading the comments looking for someone asking or stating that, as conditions are different (Raise and fall), one pin interrupt can be used. I don't have any spare arduino now to verify this, so if any can do it, you are welcome to comment if it works or not.
In the PIR example, you can't attach two different interrupts to the same pin? For example, attachInterrupt(0, LEDon, RISING) and attachInterrup(0, LEDoff, FALLING). You need to use separate pins for the different conditions?
So, what would happen if the PIR sensor was triggered any time there was motion? Maybe if it not only told you motion but also speed or distance? Would the interrupt "interrupt" itself? Say that the ISR called a function to read in the data from the PIR? Maybe if there were two PIR's?
I hope you took away lots from this video and you managed to understand how interrupts work. Let me know below!

....so you check your mailbox every ten minutes. Best example of how interrupts work that I have heard. Thank you.

"without any further delay let's get started!"
I see what you did there... I see it!

Thank you very much, my friend, for your kind words. I am glad it was helpful.
Your teaching is unique and clear see how you impact the knowledge I ve been seeking since I come across mcu's interrupt well explaned
Thanks!
Just a little notice at the end part that you could have only used one interrupt on CHANGE mode and if the state of the interrupt pin is high, turn it on. If low, turn it off. It's a good idea to try and save the use of interrupt pins as much as possible, especially on an Uno.
Good one
Well explained. I've not really understood the basics of interrupts till now.
Very useful information! I was not aware that hardware interrupts could wake the Arduino from a deep sleep and then go back to sleep right after.
Well, as many others, I have to say that I really appreciate the way you explain those videos. Very good, thank you.
Excellent explanation, thnx!
I'm wrestling this interrupt stuff for two weeks now, so I hope your basic setup will do the trick finally!

Perfect 👍
I'm Italian, I love your English! clear and usefull. Thanks
Grate job! Keep going.

You can do your project using only 1 input and look for change of input state.
Outstanding. A concept I thought was very difficult, has been very clearly explained. Chetan Pandit
I recently learned to use interrupts when learning to program ATmel controllers without the help of an Arduino. It's good to see now how to use them with the Arduino.
Thanks for the video, saved me a lot of time trying to figure this out for myself.
Excellent dear friend. Great projects discussed. This was what exactly I was looking for my projects. Keep the excellent work up.
I can see that interrupts are highly useful - and the doorway to programming much more complicated applications !!
That's another great video but may I suggest the use of digitalPinToInterrupt(pin) for the first argument to attachInterrupt for portability? It's a different story for the Arduino Due though. The pin and interrupt numbers are the same.
Excellent tutorial, which is very well explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am working on a digital speedometer for my motorbike and would use this to issue interrupt whenever Reed switch senses a revolution completion.
great video !!! just one question. in the second example with pir sensor why there was no need for a pull up or pull down resistor?
Thanks for explaining interrupts.
I will use with photo interrupter for tachometer.
Thank you Nick ! Best regards from Turkey.
Hi, I started learning the arduino, and this video very usefull for me. Short, simple. Thanks.
I LOVE THAT QUOTE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO!!!
Great video!! Quite informative! I knew how interrupts work I just never knew how to incorporate the knowledge into the Arduino! :-) I love your explanation comparing it to the mailbox and watching every 10 minutes that definitely sounds like me when I'm expecting hardware!! :-)

FANTASTIC. Wanting to click the Thumbs Up multiple times...
Hi nick!! Really thanks for all the wonderful and easy tutorial you make!!
Thank you for the nice words! Cheers!
Great tutorial, you get to the point fast while being clear....unlike other videos.⚡🐙
I needed this to build a Limit switch for a door.
thats great I am building a project and I was going to look into this interrupts. I was watching your weather station project just to get the low power mode(i building an automatic cloth dryer for home) and then i needed to turn tha arduino on and of and there it is
Fantastic easy to follow interrupt demo. Thank You
yes you can also use INT to be a counter, a water flow meter with a hall effect, or a RPM of a speed of a fan or motor, a IR car counter,,,, many many uses, Thanks for your good video's
Exactly what I was looking for ! A big thank you . Bravo.
a VERY well organized tutorial. i absolutely love all the links! thx for all of the effort!! - a new fan
Love the video as always I found it very interesting but what if when the button pressed it starts a timer to run as a one shot for 30 seconds then goes off until the next button press
Can you make further solid examples with different tools like lcd light control with movement?
Where have you been all this time Master! Thank you for this.
Another AWESOME video. I'm learning a lot here. thank you for your channel! Keep up with the great work.
thanks for all the clear and nice tutorials
I have had button bouncing issues. Thanks for this great video.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks
i needed this for my project, thanks
Hello, great tutorial. I'm having a lot of trouble with accidental triggers. It will probably get better when I solder the circuit together so I'm not using the flimsy female/male connectors, but I would like to implement a solution in the code as well.

Thank you for sharing your knowlage, great video. Only one thing is missing, you should add the schematics this way it will be much more clearer, again thanks have nice day
Very well explained thank you,
Can you change the time so the length in which the LED lights?
How much amazing information! Great stuff.
Thank's a lot for this educational video. I am currently working on a project where this fits perfectly!
at 7:57 Just one question, where did you defined these 10 seconds or this is "hardcoded" in your sensor to keep 10 seconds HIGH after motion was detected?
Thanks
The sensor goes low after 10 seconds if no movement is detected. It is a function of the sensor.
Urgh, I was trying to run a program in the interrupts. Thanks for this timeless tutorial, I am now just setting flags and everything works as expected.
Glad it helped!
Best Interrpt video on UA-cam
Why is it just now I lean about interrupts?! That'll save me a lot of headaches in the future, thanks!
woah, I encounter interrupts in arduino from this video, great job, man !
Why do you use 2 input pins for the single sensor output? The state will be the same on both pins and it will never send different states at the same time?

However, everything I have read indicates I will have trouble with the ISR firing multiple times with a button switch. Can you give some advice on this? Thanks for all your video's too!
At around 4:20, in the if condition, I don't get why there is only "if(ledOn)"
Shouldn't it be something like "if(ledOn == true) {...}?
+Mr.Carlozan it is exactly the same
it validates the statement inside braces to be TRUE. "ledOn==TRUE" is TRUE . So, "if(ledOn)" is same as writing "(ledOn==TRUE)"
This is really cool. What's not so great is my Arduino only has 2 interrupt pins.
Maybe I can learn to use ESP32
Good video ... I learned a lot !!!
I'm confused. What is the advantages of using a hardware driven interrupt as opposed to writing if statements in the code that do the same thing?
great video sir! thanks! finally understood interrupts!!
thanks for your time to share your knowledge with all of us 👍😀
Thanks a lot
it is so useful informations and easy to understand
Very good tutorial! Thank you! I will have to try this on my battery powered projects!
Hello can you make a video on how to go from the breadboard to a prototype on pcbs?
AH! This video is terrific. I've been looking for a tutorial that combines both interrupts and sleep modes and this code is so easy and streamlined. Question though, without using a delay, how did you get the motion sensor to wait 10 seconds? Is that just the built in functionality of the sensor? Thanks for the great video.
Yes this functionality in built-in to the sensor
@@Educ8s Thank you. You just streamlined my project.
Its a good video ... You did a really good job
Thank you, my friend!
very nice and to the point.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Excellent video
Only comment I have, is it would be good to explain/clarify why you wire the digital output of the sensor to TWO digital pins of the Arduino (as opposed detecting and handling BOTH events within the interrupt routine [with the CHANGE parameter to trigger on EITHER sensor state changes]).
Thank you so much, finally got an interrupt to work on my Mega 2560 board. Pretty confusing how the "0" interrupt uses pin 2, and so on...
Congretulations for your video, very interesting
Is the button in the first example a momentary button? If so, why doesn’t the led only stay on during the short time you press it but instead it stays on until you press it again?
i want to use these interrupts as a counter for fast moving objects. like seed counter. but i need to know which sensor will be most useful to detect the small grain sized particle to trigger the sensor and cause interrupt.

I have a questions - why do you use 2 pins for the 2 interrupts. Is it not possible to use the same pin, one when it goes HIGH and the other when it goes LOW?
Appreciate your help.
I was reading the comments looking for someone asking or stating that, as conditions are different (Raise and fall), one pin interrupt can be used. I don't have any spare arduino now to verify this, so if any can do it, you are welcome to comment if it works or not.
very nice video thanks a lot, I have a question, why not ESP32?
In the PIR example, you can't attach two different interrupts to the same pin? For example, attachInterrupt(0, LEDon, RISING) and attachInterrup(0, LEDoff, FALLING). You need to use separate pins for the different conditions?
No, each digital pin must have only one ISR. But with the trigger mode CHANGE you can create the same behavior in a single ISR.
Great, thank you.
Informative video! thanks man
So, what would happen if the PIR sensor was triggered any time there was motion? Maybe if it not only told you motion but also speed or distance? Would the interrupt "interrupt" itself? Say that the ISR called a function to read in the data from the PIR? Maybe if there were two PIR's?
Nice video. Where lowpower lib is. Did it made by yourself? Thanks
Thank you very much, that was so helpful!
wow...you improved much on your tutorial, very well done :) thanks for that nick :)))
no delay on section ISR only or all of code sir ? can i take some delays in void loop
Straight up educational
