| INT_RB and edge detection |

I'm currently using the port B interrupt, INT_RB, to detect when a button is pushed. However, since the interrupt is enabled on both high to low and low to high transitions, for one button press, I get two interrupts.
Does anyone know of a way to make this interrupt only return with one of these edge transitions? |

try using:
| Code: | | ext_int_edge( H_TO_L ); |
or
| Code: | | ext_int_edge( L_TO_H ); |
Cheers,

| I thought that only applied to the INT_EXT interrupt? |

You are right offcourse, I was to quick to answer, I'm Sorry.
What you could try is is adding a if(input(port)) { handling code } code.
I don't know of a way to make the interrupt handling only H_TO_L or L_TO_H transitions.
Hope this helps,

Easy, you can't. This is not an "edge" triggered interrupt. It is a mismatch interrupt. It is up to your interrupt handler to discard the case you are not interested in.

As has already been said, you can't. However there might be another alternative. As well as the normal INT_EXT, you can use the CCP module as a 'cheating' way of getting another external interrupt if this is not already being used. Basically you program this in 'compare' mode, to interrupt on one 'count', and since the interrupt can be set to operate on the CCP pin being high, or low, you can generate the effect of another external interrupt pin!...

CCS has an example file that shows how to use push buttons with the
#int_rb interrupt. It gives the option of compiling it to detect a low-to-high
transition or a high-to-low transition. Here's the file location:
