Library Documentation

    the channel whose interrupt to detach, from 1 to 4.

HardwareTimer::attachInterrupt()

Arduino Compatibility

There is one important difference between the Maple version of detachInterrupt and the Arduino version. On the Maple, the argument to detachInterrupt() is the pin on which the interrupt is attached, while on the Arduino, the argument is the interrupt number, which is different from the pin the interrupt is enabled on.

If you’re calling this function, you’ve already called attachInterrupt() to set up your interrupt handler, so just call detachInterrupt() with the same pin argument you gave to attachInterrupt().
