KC868-A8 and PCF8574 Interrupt pin
#1
Hi!
I am planning to use all 8 digital inputs of the KC868-A8, and it would be nice to be able to use the interrupt pin of the PCF8574 to detect changes. I'm just not sure if the pin is connected or not. When looking at the schematic, it looks like it is connected to GPIO16, but there is also a red X symbol next to it that might suggest otherwise.. Any hints?

KC868-A8 have two chips of PCF8574
PCF8574-Digital input: have interrupt pin with ESP32's GPIO16
PCF8574-Digital output: not use the interrupt pin.

Excellent. Thank you!

Hi everyone !
I am planning the exact same thing (use interrupt pin of PCF8574) but my board is KC868-A8S-V1.2 . In my schematic it looks like it is connected to GPIO16 too, but in the "KC868-A8S ESP32 I/O pin define" GPIO16 is connected to RF433MHz wireless receiver.
In my board, the PCF8574 interrupt pin is connected? If not, what can I do?

It seems the input interrupt GPO16 is also not connected. I'm usinv v1.6 board, but can't get any interrupt to fire.

pleaese confirm if it's connected or not.

Thank you.

YES, PCF8574's interrupt pin not used by ESP32.

Thank you. is there any plan to do this in future?

It's a bit easier and I think more reliable than scanning the bus continously to get input. Smile

I have ordered the A16 board which arrived today. I will take a look at that one as well.

Thank you.

maybe you can use a jumper wire connect to ESP32 free GPIO. maybe in furture we can use it.

Hello, I am only a beginner and have problems with interrupt.
I have KC868-A8 V1.5 and use PCF8574. 
The program runs OK, but for the security of the project I need to watch that 1 parameter measured with an analog tool,  stops the whole sketch at avery moment when the parameter is to high.
Is it possible with my Kincony?
Can somebody help with the code?

Kind regards
