Library 38- External interrupts for STM32F4

A new library is here. 38th are external interrupts. This library allows you to very easly use external interrupts for your needs with just one function and function handler. I have written everything you need to start.

For more informations on how external interrupts works on STM32F4 with pins and lines and so on, you should look at my external interrupts tutorial. I tried explain there everything as best as I can. I think it’s quite understandable.

I will just say here, that you can connect only one pin to one line at a time. For more, look at tutorial.

So, my library is below.

Yeah, you are right. There are many GPIOxs available on STM32F4 devices. So, this table describes you, which pins are used for specific line. So let’s say Line 11 has pins PA11 to PK11.

I had to implement default interrupt handlers if I want to use interrupts. So 7 functions with default names in my library. If you need any of this functions (names below) then you can disable this functionality in library by adding some defines to defines.h file.

By default, external interrupts have priority in NVIC set to 0x0A. If you want higher priority, add line below in defines.h file and edit it. Lower number means higher priority. Sub priorities are set like pins. Px0 has highest priority, Px15 lowest.

Functions and enumerations

Example

Example is set to work with both, discovery boards and nucleo boards.

  • Discovery boards
    • Button connected to PA0
    • Rising edge when you press button
    • Line0 selected
  • Nucleo boards
    • Button connected to PC13
    • Falling edge when you press button
    • Line13 selected
  • Every click on button will toggle led
    • After 10 clicks on button, interrupt for specific line is detached
