void main(void){
static unsigned int16 last_PIN_B6 = PIN_LOW; // assuming initial state

Or I suppose as Ttlemah previously stated, I could use a timer interrupt?

That's also an option. I have a few programs where I have a spare interrupt running that takes a 16 bit variable, shifts ...

To debounce a switch input you would not use an external interrupt or a change interrupt at all. Just poll the pin input at a regular interval and look for a stable change of state.
An interrupt on ...

You are right on this chip. On most chips they are not relocatable.
However using the interrupts, you will have problems with bounce.
Understand they a simple keyboard may well give a dozen or more ...

Going back to an earlier point, are you sure that PPS can't be used with external interrupts? According to the data sheet for the PIC24FJ256GB210 family of devices The peripherals managed by the PPS a ...

Thanks for sharing that vital info, I missed that. I see now that I can't use those pins as interrupts as the interrupts are not PPS, but are dedicated pins.

So if I were to use the suggested appr ...

Thank you for all the valuable info. I think I have overcomplicated my initial description. After further reading into the compiler and chip, I think I found an approach that will work. My use case is ...

As a follow up to the interrupts discussion, I have a few more questions. I understand now that the interrupts are enabled via two bits (the global and individual bit).

When I read the data sheet ...

Thanks for the info. I have been reading the Microchip's datasheet for the PIC24FJ256GB210 Family of devices. I am still learning what some of the lingo means, I also have the book "making embedd ...

Hi,

I have tested embedded systems before but this is my first time developing firmware itself. I have a few questions. I have a device that already has an existing firmware codebase, I am just try ...
