public class ExternalInterrupt

extends Object

This class allows an application to manage external interrupts received by TINI. External interrupts can be used to respond to external events such as a push button being pressed. The interrupt can be configured to be falling edge triggered or low level triggered. Resources for external interrupts are shared with TINI's external serial ports and the parallel port interrupt circuitry that may exist on some socket boards.

ExternalInterrupt

public ExternalInterrupt()

Method Detail

addEventListener

public void addEventListener(ExternalInterruptEventListener externalEventListener)
                      throws TooManyListenersException

Adds an event listener to TINI's external interrupt event chain.

Parameters:

externalEventListener - reference to the class that will be added to the listener chain

Throws:

TooManyListenersException - if no more listiners can be added

removeEventListener

public void removeEventListener(ExternalInterruptEventListener externalEventListener)

Removes an event listener from TINI's external interrupt event chain.

Parameters:

externalEventListener - reference to the class that will be removed from the listener chain

setTrigger

public static void setTrigger(boolean edgeTrigger,
                              ExternalInterruptEventListener owner)
                       throws ExternalInterruptException

Sets the external interrupt trigger state to edge or level triggered.

Parameters:

edgeTrigger - set to true for edge triggering or false for level triggering

owner - reference to ExternalInterruptEventListener that wants to change the trigger. Once the trigger is owned the owner is the only object that can change the trigger.

Throws:

ExternalInterruptException - if triggering is owned by another listener in the current process, by another process or by the external serial ports

getTrigger

public static boolean getTrigger()

Gets the current trigger state.

Returns:

true if edge triggered and false if level triggered
