1. Objective: The objective of this experiment is to understand the basics of external single
interrupts and multiple interrupts.
2. Introduction/ Theoretical Background/ Problem Statement: Interrupt is a method of giving
attention to a task which is not scheduled as a usual task. In a microcontroller the usual task is to
follow line by line execution of a program. If a programmer wants to break the flow and attend a
different task, then that has to be done by Interrupt. Whenever such a situation occurs, the
microcontroller raises a flag corresponding to that task. The programmer sets the microcontroller
in such a way that the microcontroller on its own monitors the flag, does the task automatically –
using ISR (Interrupt Service Routine), whenever the flag is raised.

Registers related to the External Interrupts

GICR (General Interrupt Control Register): this defines enable/disable of the external
interrupts

MCUCR (Micro Controller Unit Control Register): this defines the senses of the interrupts of
Int0 and Int1

MCUCSR (Micro Controller Unit Control and Status Register): this defines the senses of
interrupt Int2

GIFR (General Interrupt Flag Register): The interrupt flags of this register are raised

3. Components Required:

• ATmega32
• Seven Segment Display
• LED
• Connecting Wires
PART A: Single External Interrupt
• Modify the code in such a way that will count the digits of the seven-segment display
in reverse order

Discussion

When the main function gets interrupted it pauses and the function in an ISR is carried out. Once its
complete, the main function resumes from where it had left off.

We have also seen how we can change the priority of certain interrupts. This enables us to use the
same microcontroller to carry out multiple unidirectional tasks sequentially based on the ISR’s
priority.

We can use it to make many advanced machines like Robotic arm, CNC router etc.
