no A0

[tarbear123]

i think that you should add the arduino uno and add pins A0 to A5 (like on the arduino uno)

[neu-rah]

Arduino Uno is an ATMega328, and we have the 3 ports

port B {8,9,10,11,12,13,-1,-1},
port C {14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21},
port D {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

the A0 must be pin 14 and so on...
port C pins 20 and 21 are only available on arduino nano (8 analog pins)

do i need to add a interrupt to the code if i have pcint.h?

[neu-rah]

you need a function to be called by the interrupt
and attach it to the pin on setup
PCattachInterrupt<pin>(myFunction,CHANGE);

just, after that your function will be called whenever the pin CHANGEs state

when i go to upload the code, i get
Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows Store 1.8.10.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

and do i need
ISR (PCINT1_vect) // handle pin change interrupt for A0 to A5 here
{
digitalWrite(14,analogRead(A0));
}

[neu-rah]

sketch_may02a:15: error: no matching function for call to 'PCattachInterrupt(int&, int)'
PCattachInterrupt<14>(mydiceFunction,CHANGE);

it seems that you are passing an int& where you should be passing a function

can you run the example?

[tarbear123]

yes i can

[neu-rah]

so mydiceFunction should be a function like:

void mydiceFunction() {
  //... do somestuff here
}

[tarbear123]

do i put the if(digitalRead(buttonPin) == 0 && lastButtonState == 1); //if button is pressed and was released last change else if(digitalRead(buttonPin) == 1 && lastButtonState == 0) //if button is not pressed, and was pressed last change { lastButtonState = 1; //record the lastButtonState
into the void mydicefunction

[neu-rah]

you can use RISING or FALLING instead of CHANGE, if you are interested on a particular edge, its safer then checking state

P.S. still if interested on both edges you only need to check current state, then you know it changes from the inverse (no need to store the last state)

[tarbear123]

do i put in the

void mydicefunction randNumber = random(1, 7);
Serial.println(randNumber); 

or

if(digitalRead(buttonPin) == 0 && lastButtonState == 1); //if button is pressed and was released last change else if(digitalRead(buttonPin) == 1 && lastButtonState == 0) //if button is not pressed, and was pressed last change 
{
  lastButtonState = 1; //record the lastButtonState 

and i have the mydicefunction change and when i go to upload the code to the arduino, it comes up with a compiling error and it doesn.t do that with any other code, plz help
