IRQ handling with the ESP8266?

[3PO]

I modified the as3935_demo.ino as follow:

/*
-------------------------------
AS3935   |  ESP8266 (ModeMCU)
---------+---------------------
MISO/SDA |  D3
MISO     |  GND
SCK/SCL  |  D4
IRQ      |  D5
SI       |  +3,3V
CS       |  GND
GND      |  GND
Vdd      |  +3,3V

#include <AsyncDelay.h>
#include <SoftWire.h>
#include <AS3935.h>

#define SDA_PIN D3
#define SCL_PIN D4
#define IRQ_PIN D5

AS3935 as3935;
bool ledState = true;
AsyncDelay d;

void int2Handler(void)
{
  as3935.interruptHandler();
}


void readRegs(uint8_t start, uint8_t end)
{
  for (uint8_t reg = start; reg < end; ++reg) {
    delay(50);
    uint8_t val;
    as3935.readRegister(reg, val);

    Serial.print("Reg: 0x");
    Serial.print(reg, HEX);
    Serial.print(": 0x");
    Serial.println(val, HEX);
    Serial.flush();
  }
  Serial.print("State: ");
  Serial.println(as3935.getState(), DEC);
  Serial.println("-------------");
}

void setup(void)
{

  Serial.begin(115200);
  as3935.initialise(SDA_PIN, SCL_PIN, 0x03, 3, true, NULL);
  as3935.start();
  d.start(1000, AsyncDelay::MILLIS);

  while (!d.isExpired())
    as3935.process();
  
  readRegs(0, 0x09);
  as3935.setNoiseFloor(0);
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, ledState);
  pinMode(IRQ_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP);
  attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(IRQ_PIN), int2Handler, RISING);
  d.start(1000, AsyncDelay::MILLIS);
  Serial.println("setup() done");
}

uint8_t count = 0;
void loop(void)
{
  if (as3935.process()) {
    uint8_t flags = as3935.getInterruptFlags();
    uint8_t dist = as3935.getDistance();

    Serial.println("-------------------");
    Serial.print("Interrupt flags: ");
    Serial.println(flags, HEX);
    Serial.print("Distance: ");
    Serial.println(dist, DEC);
  }
  if (as3935.getBusError()) 
    Serial.println("Bus error!");

    if (as3935.getTriggered()) 
    Serial.println("Triggered!");


  if (d.isExpired()) {
    ledState = !ledState;
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, ledState);
    
    if (++count > 5) {
      count = 0;
      readRegs(0, 0x09);
    }
    d.start(1000, AsyncDelay::MILLIS);
  }
  
}

But the issue is allways "Triggered!"

Where is my fail?

In your case above Interrupt flags: 1 indicates that the noise level is too high; you need to find a better location away from electrical interference.

The AS3935_demo sketch in v1.0.4 tidies up the printing and removes the extra "Triggered!" lines. The reason for the interrupt is now given by a string so it is not necessary to decode the AS3935 interrupt flags to identify environments with too much background noise or disturbers.
