Interrupt Falling & Rising always triggered

Hello
I have the problem that no matter if I use RISING or FALLING on interrupts, an interrupt is always triggered.

An encoder 2Bit Gray Code is connected to CH5 & CH6. The interrupt is triggered via CH6.

Generally I just can't get the encoder to run. Because I can not query the inputs in the interrupt routine and if I set a flag the program is too slow.

For control I display "INT2_RISE" on the screen to see when an interrupt was triggered.

 //___________________________________________
  // Pin Setup Digital
  //-------------------------------------------
  Indio.digitalMode(CH_1, INPUT_MASKED);  
  Indio.digitalMode(CH_2, INPUT_MASKED); 
  Indio.digitalMode(CH_3, INPUT_MASKED); 
  Indio.digitalMode(CH_4, INPUT_MASKED); 
  Indio.digitalMode(CH_5, INPUT_MASKED);
  Indio.digitalMode(CH_6, INPUT);

  //___________________________________________
  // Pin Setup Interrupt
  //-------------------------------------------
 
  attachInterrupt(8, Encode_RISING, RISING);

 

void Encode_RISING() {
    INT1_enco=1;
    SerialUSB.println("INT2_RISE");
}

loop:
  if(INT1_enco == 1) //INT_RISING
  {
    detachInterrupt(8);
    Channel5= Indio.digitalRead(5);
    Channel6= Indio.digitalRead(6);


    if (Indio.digitalRead(6) == HIGH)
        {
          if (Channel5 == HIGH)
          {
            position_enco++;
            SerialUSB.println("UP_1");
          }
          else{
            position_enco--;
            SerialUSB.println("down_1");
          }
      }
      else{      
             if (Channel5 == LOW)
              {
               position_enco++;
               SerialUSB.println("UP_2");
               }else{
               position_enco--;
                SerialUSB.println("down_2");
               }
        
      }

INT1_enco=0;
attachInterrupt(8, Encode_RISING, RISING)

}

Hi, the interrupt on MCU pin D8 is triggered by a change on any digital channel (CH1-8). As far as i know, indeed any digital channel change triggers a FALLING and RISING edge, so as far as i understand it does not matter which one you use, RISING or FALLING.

I suggest another approach for your encoder: connect your encoder to 2 digital channels and attach an interrupt to set a flag when one of the channels changes. In the loop, read the 2 channels only when the flag is set. The read operation of 2 channels takes about 1.3ms, maybe fast enough for your encoder?

Here is an example for such code, please let us know if that works;

#include <Indio.h>
#include <Wire.h>

volatile bool flag = 0;

void set_flag() {
  flag = 1;
}

void setup() {
  SerialUSB.begin(115200);
  delay(2000);
  SerialUSB.println("START");
  Indio.digitalMode(7, INPUT);
  Indio.digitalMode(8, INPUT);
  attachInterrupt(8, set_flag, FALLING);       // D8 attached to the interrupt of the expander
}

void loop() {
  if (flag == 1) {
    unsigned long ts = micros();
    bool ch7 = Indio.digitalRead(7);
    bool ch8 = Indio.digitalRead(8);
    unsigned long delta = micros() - ts;
    SerialUSB.print(ch7);
    SerialUSB.print(ch8);
    SerialUSB.println();
    flag = 0;
  }
}

Thanks for your help. I'll get back to you as soon as I have time to test it.
