Hello guys.
I designed a custom board around the STM32F411CEU6. On this board, I have a switch and a screw terminal header, both of which are intended to be used has GPIO inputs. However, with both I've had a struggle working with GPIO inputs and interrupts. Attached is my current code, with my button being located on pin PA0. I intend to use pins PA1 and PA0 as input, with PA1 attached to a mat that activates similar to a switch.
What's more confusing is that my display and touch input does indeed work. In fact, even LVGL works on this microcontroller and display. It's only the GPIO interrupts and inputs that I have an issue with. I've also attached a picture of my schematic. Any help is appreciated!

I should add that my reset and boot switches work just as intended. There are no issues with those switches.

I've found that this code works when I'm not treating it as an interrupt. However, it still does not work with pin PA1 for the digital pressure mat I have.

Enable the interrupt by checking the box in the IOC file GPIO tab. There needs to be an HAL_NVIC_EnableIRQ call to enable the EXTI interrupt for that pin.
Attach your IOC if you're still having trouble.
