If you have landed at this post you were most probably searching for issues updating .NET nanoFramework code that used ValueChanged to handle interrupts. Back in mid 2020 the initial version of my Semtech SX127X(HopeRF RFM9X) library used the Windows.Devices.Gpio Nuget package.
public Rfm9XDevice(string spiPort, int chipSelectPin, int resetPin, int interruptPin)
{
//...
// Interrupt pin for RX message & TX done notification
InterruptGpioPin = gpioController.OpenPin(interruptPin);
InterruptGpioPin.SetDriveMode(GpioPinDriveMode.Input);
InterruptGpioPin.ValueChanged += InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged;
}
private void InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged(object sender, GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Edge != GpioPinEdge.RisingEdge)
{
return;
}
byte irqFlags = this.RegisterReadByte(0x12); // RegIrqFlags
//...
}
Then in March 2022 I updated the CoreLibrary, Runtime.Events, System.Devices.GPIO, System.Devices.SPI NuGets.
I then fixed all the breaking changes (For the initial versions I have not updated the code to use SpanByte etc.).
public Rfm9XDevice(int spiBusId, int chipSelectPin, int resetPin, int interruptPin)
{
//...
// Interrupt pin for RX message & TX done notification
InterruptGpioPin = gpioController.OpenPin(interruptPin);
InterruptGpioPin.SetPinMode(PinMode.Input);
InterruptGpioPin.ValueChanged += InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged;
}
private void InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged(object sender, PinValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ChangeType != PinEventTypes.Rising)
{
return;
}
byte irqFlags = this.RegisterReadByte(0x12); // RegIrqFlags
//...
}
While “soak testing” the ReceiveInterrupt application I noticed that sometimes when I started the application interrupts were not processed or processing stopped after a while.
I then found the RangeTester application wouldn’t start or run reliably. My original code was based on the Widnows.Devices.GPIO sample so I updated it based on the System.Device.GPIO sample.
public Rfm9XDevice(int spiBusId, int chipSelectPin, int resetPin, int interruptPin)
{
//...
// Interrupt pin for RX message & TX done notification
gpioController.OpenPin(interruptPin,PinMode.InputPullDown);
gpioController.RegisterCallbackForPinValueChangedEvent(interruptPin, PinEventTypes.Rising, InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged);
}
private void InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged(object sender, PinValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
byte irqFlags = this.RegisterReadByte(0x12); // RegIrqFlags
//...
}
If your Windows.Devices.GPIO based project is not reliably handling interrupts after upgrading to System.Device.GPIO and fixing any “breaking changes” the implementation most probably need to be updated to use RegisterCallbackForPinValueChangedEvent as well.
