I'm currently attempting to implement some interrupts on an Arduino project. Looking through some of the examples, it appears that all the ISRs are defined in the top level Arduino program. I'm organizing my project by C++ classes and namespaces, so I'm curious, is it possible to reference an ISR that is not declared and defined in the top level Arduino program? Could I instead reference an ISR that is declared in a separate C++ namespace? This question has been spawned primarily for organizational purposes.

Otherwise, I could always just use a #include to import a file that defines the ISR such that they're imported to the top level.

Thanks!

  • Are you talking about a real ISR, or a function that you use with attachInterrupt()? Commented Oct 8, 2016 at 13:37

    Then it should be declared (not necessarily defined) from where you use it, or in an included .h. Commented Oct 8, 2016 at 13:48

Why don't you try it and see?

Yes. Example here:

const byte LED = 13; const byte BUTTON = 2; namespace foo { // Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) void switchPressed () { if (digitalRead (BUTTON) == HIGH) digitalWrite (LED, HIGH); else digitalWrite (LED, LOW); } // end of switchPressed } // end of namespace foo void setup () { pinMode (LED, OUTPUT); // so we can update the LED digitalWrite (BUTTON, HIGH); // internal pull-up resistor attachInterrupt (0, foo::switchPressed, CHANGE); // attach interrupt handler } // end of setup void loop () { // loop doing nothing }

I put the ISR in the namespace "foo" and it compiled OK.
