Arduino Tutorial 4: Interrupts

Hardware interrupts are an incredibly useful feature of the Arduino. Interrupts make it such that you don't miss an input event like the push of a button or a pulse from another device. Instead of actively polling a pin for input you can let your program do other things until the interrupt is triggered. Once interrupted, the Arduino will call a specific subroutine. Interrupts are important for time sensitive tasks such as button presses or timing signals.

Thank YOU! Watched so many tutorials that just show immediate interrupts to light an LED. I love that this one demonstrates a state change and then calls a function when the state is checked. Much appreciated.
