I have an Arduino Uno R3. I have a paddlewheel waterspeed sensor that I use on an ISR on pin 2. The power supply is approximately 8v stepped down to 4.92v with a circuit yanked from the phone charger. I have also tried this with the arduino 5v.

The pin returns the correct values with digitalRead(), so it's cycling between 1 and 0.

The ISR works fine on pin3. Why does it work on pin 3 and not pin 2 ISR?

void itest() {
    Serial.println( "test" );
}

void setup() {
    attachInterrupt(0, itest, FALLING);
}

  • Have you compared the disassembled code when using each pin? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Mar 31 '14 at 1:21
  • Can you show us the code of the ISR and how you registered it? – jfpoilpret Mar 31 '14 at 5:19
  • Where do you set pinMode() of pin 2 to INPUT? – jfpoilpret Mar 31 '14 at 11:18
  • @jfpoilpret it doesn't need pinMode() and the ISR is hidden by the arduino code in the attachInterrupt – Lesto Mar 31 '14 at 19:48
  • I hope you haven't forgotten to change attachInterrupt(0,itest,FALLING); to attachinterrupt(1,itest,FALLING); – explorer Apr 24 '15 at 8:48

never use Serial inside an interrupt handler, increment a (volatile) variable and print it in the loop().
