Anybody using PCINT instead of INT0?

[tman_r]

Can't use INT0 pin on D- due to basically other needs for the pins on an ATtiny84 (or similar).

Has anyone successfully used PCINT instead of INT0? It seems pretty clear what needs to be changed at the bottom of usbconfig.h [*], but I notice that:
- INT0 is set to interrupt only on the rising edge (via ISC0x on MCUCR).
- PCINT's are necessarily going to interrupt on both edges, i.e. toggles. (I guess by definition of "pin _change_", and lack of any clear way to alter this).

Have any others dealt with this?

[*] -- I also see a need to insert a few lines of code in order to set the PCMSK0 on teh ATtiny84.

Thanks,
Tman.

Here I am replying to myself, just to document for the group how to get it to work. It's a piece of cake.
No sweat that the INT will trigger on both rising and falling edges, as the interrupt handler does cli() anyways.

#define USB_INTR_CFG_SET (1 << PCINT0)
#define USB_INTR_CFG_CLR 0
#define USB_INTR_ENABLE GIMSK

For documentation not to get lost, you might want to put it on the wiki? http://vusb.wikidot.com/

I never answered because I couldn't find the reference, but there is a mention somewhere that any interrupt pin can be used successfully but the big drawback is that it severely limits the use of any higher interrupt pins for other purposes. so in effect it would probably be self defeating.

so in effect it would probably be self defeating.

So then there's no sense in it or what?

Self defeating was probably a bad choice of words, and I still can't find the reference I mentioned...

What I meant to say was that it wouldn't be a preferred option to use another pin than INT0. as any higher interrupt pins would then need to be used with great care to avoid any possible unexpected results...

Yes I still think it's not a good idea, but that is only an opinion...
