Feature Request - Pin Change Interrupt Support

[zacaustin]

I was wondering if it would be possible to add Pin Change Interrupt support to this library to enable a Wiegand reader to be connected to another pair of pins on the board?

Currently working on a project where I need to use the Pins 2 and 3 on an Arduino Uno for other purposes but can't use a Mega to get additional Hardware Interrupt Pins.

I would have a go myself but I'm not quite at the skill level to implement this.

Hi, the quick solution that I used was use the PinChangeInterrupt library by Nico Hood, and then, change the "private" to "protected" in the header file, in this way, we can use the variables in a derivated class.

After that, i made a derivated class and just overload the begin method, just like:

`#include <Wiegand.h>

#include <PinChangeInterrupt.h>
#include <PinChangeInterruptBoards.h>
#include <PinChangeInterruptPins.h>
#include <PinChangeInterruptSettings.h>

class WiegandPCINT : public WIEGAND {

public:
void begin(int pinD0, int pinD1){
_lastWiegand = 0;
_cardTempHigh = 0;
_cardTemp = 0;
_code = 0;
_wiegandType = 0;
_bitCount = 0;
pinMode(pinD0, INPUT); // Set D0 pin as input
pinMode(pinD1, INPUT); // Set D1 pin as input

attachPinChangeInterrupt(digitalPinToPinChangeInterrupt(pinD0), ReadD0, FALLING);
attachPinChangeInterrupt(digitalPinToPinChangeInterrupt(pinD1), ReadD1, FALLING);

}

};`

With this changes, you can use any pin that allow PCINT. Note that PinD0 is the pin that will receive the "0" bits, and PinD1 will receive the "1" bits.
