Interrupt example is bad about adafruit-mcp23017-arduino-library HOT 6 CLOSED

Yah, the MCP really only supports LOW/HIGH and not RISING/FALLING, since you can't clear the interrupt in that mode. It's a simple assert-if-comparison-true logic:

The changes in #64 include switching to LOW/HIGH.

Please checkout the new 2.0.0 release:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-MCP23017-Arduino-Library/releases/tag/2.0.0
FALLING/RISING have been replaced with HIGH/LOW. CHANGE remains the same. These are (hopefully) inline with the Arduino spec:

Thank you for the announcement.

The interrupt example is different, but is now good?
I don't think so. What's the value of an interrupt example which don't use the interrupt?
The interrupt example is to simplistic to be really helpful or practical.

What would you suggest? The example can be updated. Idea with current one is it's very simple - just shows how to generally configure the INTA/B pin to fire.

Closing due to lack of response. Can reopen if needed. Not really a library issue, just commentary about existing example.

The example can be updated with an interrupt service routine so that it is more useful to general folks.
