Example Code for Arduino-M0-External interrupt function
Last revision 2026/01/19
This example demonstrates interrupt detection. When acceleration on a selected axis exceeds or falls below the set threshold, the interrupt signal can be detected on the INT1/INT2 pin.
Hardware Preparation
- Firebeetle Board-M0 × 1
- LIS331HH Triple Axis Accelerometer × 1
- Some Jumper wires
Software Preparation
- Arduino IDE
- Download and install the LIS Series Library and Sample Code (About how to install the library?)
Wiring Diagram
Connect your sensor to an M0 controller (or others) according to the connection diagram below.
Other Preparation Work
- Select interrupt.ino.
- Program Burning.

* @n For a detailed explanation of each of them, please look up the comments of the enableInterruptEvent() function.
* @n This example needs to connect the int2/int1 pin of the module to the interrupt pin of the motherboard. Default UNO(2),
