Re: Confused about Interrupts
indeed. The documentation usually helps :-P.
INTCON3 is an 8-bit register in the microcontroller. Since there are 8 bits, it can hold 8 binary values. The reason there are multiple INTCON (interrupt control) registers is that there are more than 8 binary values needed to control interrupts.
Seriously, if you're doing something as low level as interupts, scan the datasheet and get familiar with the processor. It'll do you good in the end.
