PIC 4x4 Keypad Interfacing Tutorial - MikroC




Keypad Library

The mikroC PRO for PIC provides a library for working with 4x4 keypad. The library routines can also be used with 4x1, 4x2, or 4x3 keypad. For connections explanation see schematic at the bottom of this page.
External dependencies of Keypad Library
The following variable must be defined in all projects using Keypad Library:
Description :
Example :
extern sfr char keypadPort;
Keypad Port.
char keypadPort at PORTD;
Library Routines
Keypad_Init
Prototype
void Keypad_Init(void);
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Initializes port for working with keypad.
Requires
Global variable :
  • keypadPort - Keypad port
must be defined before using this function.
Example
// Keypad module connections
char keypadPort at PORTD;
// End of keypad module connections
...
Keypad_Init();


Keypad_Key_Press
Prototype
char Keypad_Key_Press(void);
Returns
The code of a pressed key (1..16).
If no key is pressed, returns 0.
Description
Reads the key from keypad when key gets pressed.
Requires
Port needs to be initialized for working with the Keypad library, see Keypad_Init.
Example
char kp;
...
kp = Keypad_Key_Press();


Keypad_Key_Click
Prototype
char Keypad_Key_Click(void);
Returns
The code of a clicked key (1..16).
If no key is clicked, returns 0.
Description
Call to Keypad_Key_Click is a blocking call: the function waits until some key is pressed and released. When released, the function returns 1 to 16, depending on the key. If more than one key is pressed simultaneously the function will wait until all pressed keys are released. After that the function will return the code of the first pressed key.
Requires
Port needs to be initialized for working with the Keypad library, see Keypad_Init.
Example
char kp;
...
kp = Keypad_Key_Click();


Library Example
This is a simple example of using the Keypad Library. It supports keypads with 1..4 rows and 1..4 columns. The code being returned by Keypad_Key_Click() function is in range from 1..16. In this example, the code returned is transformed into ASCII codes [0..9,A..F] and displayed on Lcd. In addition, a small single-byte counter displays in the second Lcd row number of key presses.




unsigned short kp, cnt, oldstate = 0;
char txt[6];

// Keypad module connections
char  keypadPort at PORTD;
// End Keypad module connections
