Unless you set the scope to trigger on that input.If the pulses are narrow and infrequent they may be very hard to see on an oscilloscope.
I presume you mean that pin 21 is never seen to go high?
Are you using an oscilloscope to look at this pin?
I would suggest a logic probe with an indicator that shows pulses. If the pulses are narrow and infrequent they may be very hard to see on an oscilloscope.
So you saw pulses with the logic probe?
It might help if you tell us *why* you were surprised.
The issue with the scope is that unless it is a storage scope that can display trace *before* the trigger, a sufficiently narrow trigger pulse is going to be either invisible or completely mashed up against the left hand side of the display.
It would be a little easier if you can just attach jpg images directly rather than zipping them first.
Counting clocks is a bad idea.
You say that you see the AD pin change state using a logic probe. Does it trigger an interrupt on your uC?
If it doesn't then that is what you need to investigate next. It may be that the AD pulse is too narrow, or that the uC is not programmed correctly to react to the interrupt.
