Keyboard, keypad debouncing and more
PostPosted: Sun Jan 11, 2009 7:53 am     Reply with quote

Hello.

I've removed some parts from Mark's source code so it can fit my needs.
There is just single click check and hold down part.
I want to learn on this example but some help is welcome.

My end goal is to do keyboard (3x4, 4x4 debouncing on this way:
A B C a b c 1, A B C a b c 1, A B C a b c 1 and so on.

One button should be able to switch between this 7 possibilities and if you hold this button for 3 seconds, last char should be remembered.
The same as on mobile phones keypad.
--------------------------------------------------
Before i implement the keyboard i want to understand how to make this with the buttons on the picdem board , so i started with Mark's code.


1.) How to switch this possibilities thru some IF loop ?
2.) The clockspeed is 4 MHZ not 10 ( as in example ) so timer should be reconfigured.

Thank you.

printf("A\n\r");

Mark's code does not work with a 3x4 keypad. It's intended for individual
switches, where each switch is connected to a separate PIC pin.
You will need a different driver for a 3x4 keypad.


Here is a data sheet for Grayhill 3x4 keypads. They have switches
wired in a matrix and have a 7-pin header on the back:

Hi PCM Programmer,
and thank you for reply.

Yes i am aware that Mark's code is for individual switches only, but i was thinking that maybe it would be interesting to implement this kind of logic into keypad.

How would you make this what i described in first post ?
A B C a b c 1, A B C a b c 1, A B C a b c 1 and so on.

I now i have to use timers but i am not quite sure how will all this affect performance of the program, speed etc.

Anyway, where would you start ?

Call me clueless, but what does "A B C a b c 1, A B C a b c 1, A B C a b c " mean?

He wants it to cycle through the selections each time you push the button. First short push it displays A. the second short push it displays B etc. If you push and hold the button for three seconds it accepts that as the selection of the user.

What is better way to connect the keypad, regarding to functionality described in previous posts ?

This

or
ht://i40.tinypic*com/rbxyrp.jpg

I will try to use modified ccs keypad example and mark's state machine idea, to get what i need. Suggestions, examples ?

Thanx!
