Detecting short impulses in Digital input

[T4r4sB]

If I would check digital input with function in.read() every 10 ms, I will miss some short impulses with duration less than 10 ms. If I would wait impulses with function in.waitForValue(...), this function will lock thread until input state will change. So I need to use the new thread which will only listen input? Is there single-thread way to detect short impulses?

There isn't. The entire API is following a synchronous / blocking approach and creating a thread is the intended way of doing something like what you're describing. If that's a problem for you, you can look into changing / enhancing the implementation of DigitialInput. Under the hood it is event-driven, so you can easily add a feature such as querying the number of transitions since inception or similar.
