 		 #169960 - May be the proximity switch not working properly
Responding to: ???'s previous message
You must troubleshoot your circuit, and i think that you proximity switch may not be working properly.
Use oscilloscope at the ouput pin of the proximity sensor and watch whether a pulse comes at its output or not which sends the interupt, because when your circuit working correctly for 2months long it means that the programming was allright.
Another thing is that also use the same trouble shooting technique by keeping your oscilloscpe pin at the external interupt pin.
I think that this problem is not a big one and will be solved eaisly.
Take Care

               No, the interrupt line isn't affected by air humidity            01/01/70 00:00
