- Mon Apr 25, 2016 6:56 am #46145 I think 'interrupt' may be broken.

It's quite a crucial command for reading any pins, so I think it's something that needs checking when possible, and probably a worthwhile contender for including a working example added to it's doc entry in Lang Ref.

if it helps, I've included a 'test' program which I think shows there's a problem, and hopefully can make things a bit quicker to check out - it uses cicciocb's UDP_debugger utility just to show what's happening under the covers without worrying about having to update screen info, and has embedded comments to explain things.

There's also related info here... http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=9622

'Sending udp msg just to prove led can be toggled ok, therefore the problem must be something to do with interrupt

- Mon Apr 25, 2016 1:04 pm #46184 Hi, your code works very well if you :

put the following line at the beginning :
let udpport = 5001

With this change, your code works!

- Mon Apr 25, 2016 2:12 pm #46187 Cheers matey, but I still can't get interrupt to work for me even if I copy and past your replacement line in - or manually type it in for that matter - and I know I already tried using an absolute pin number for it in the past rather than a variable cos I don't like troubling you busy guys until I've tried everything I can think of first.

I'm wondering if this isn't some sort of regional keyboard thing again... like the double-quote turkey pretending to be a duck!

When you get the time, could you post up a quick interrupt example that you know definitely works 'as-is' for me to copy and paste and try - then if it still doesn't work for me, it would suggest there may be a regional problem which needs looking into.

- Mon Apr 25, 2016 2:31 pm #46190 Listen, I copy/pasted your code and I tried before to put 0 instead of inputpin in the interrupt line.
I tried and the interrupt was working. So I put back inputpin in the line and it was working too.
So I don't know why don't works for you.
