# Set Events

Configure the type of events emitted by a given pin.

```sig
pins.setEvents(DigitalPin.P0, PinEventType.Edge);
```

### Parameters

* ``name``: The @boardname@ hardware pin to configure (``P0`` through ``P20``)
* ``type``: The type of events this pin should emit

### Example

The following example configures pin ``P0`` and then
subscribes to the rise and fall events.

```blocks
control.onEvent(control.eventSourceId(EventBusSource.MICROBIT_ID_IO_P0),  control.eventValueId(EventBusValue.MICROBIT_PIN_EVT_RISE), () => {
    basic.showString("Rise")
})
control.onEvent(control.eventSourceId(EventBusSource.MICROBIT_ID_IO_P0),  control.eventValueId(EventBusValue.MICROBIT_PIN_EVT_FALL), () => {
    basic.showString("Fall")
})
pins.setEvents(DigitalPin.P0, PinEventType.Edge)
```
